No One was Listening

it was the end
but no one listened
scrabbling in the dungeon
build in the name of a vow

the flashes of lightnings
in the words from lips
once kissed tender
curses out of once loving words

poems of destruction heard
in his indifference
and then there was silence
he took the hands of another

fifteen years ago today
extreme unction administered
in a death of oaths
given at the altar of God

nothing left but useless debris
nothing remained within hearts
just regrets for youth spent
in trying to understand.
