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.
