By: Ryley Grail
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” and “Bittersweet Symphony” by the Verve
It started with her beauty
she was divine, and her
perfume stayed lingering
with me.
Her love was my bittersweet
catastrophe, and it devoured
me whole.
When she spoke, the chorus of
a symphony played.
The serendipity of meeting her
acquaintance that first night
soon turned into a morose
relationship.
Death was not the reason
why she had left, it was
her narcissistic and flippant
behavior.
Even though her hellish grin
had me wrapped around her
finger, our relationship became,
and I “quoth the raven,
“nevermore”.”
She became the epitome of
perplexity and conundrums.
Although I shall miss when
she would ravish me
with her voluptuous body,
she is but a fiend,
and a malevolent one at that.
