Take away my soul

Darkness crept, Silence Fell,

Eyes blinked, Tears welled,

Heart hammering, Soul trembled.

All I could think of,

Was you and your face.

Wonderful were the days we spent together,

Promises made to be thus, forever.

Days ‘nightened’,

Promises broken,

All I could think of, 

Was you and your smile.

Should I call it fake?

For fake was your love,

Poisoned, your words.

Breath struggled out,

Thoughts juggled in,

All I could think of,

Was you and your reply

Courage gathered,

Mind determined,

Fists tightened,

Tears rolled,

Pain doubled,

Smile troubled

All I could think of,

Was you and your verdict.

I was to be hanged,

Rope ready,

Corpse steady,

Time fixed,

At your nod,

I quit!
