I remember,
The sullen face she held as she bled,
Waiting to be fed and kept,
Drowning in red instead she wept,
Regret and Shame I felt.

I remember,
When I caressed her hair,
Kissed her skin that was ever so fair,
The beauty in her eyes more than I could bear,
Enchanted I was with love so near.

I remember,
My shakened heart trembled with fear,
The word love, bringing me a scare.
I coward I was, could not be a pair,
So I withdrew my compassion and fled.

I remember,
Her being dazed by my uncare,
How I left the one that used to be my dear,
The loss of chivalry, skinned me bare,
Of no hope, only despair.

I remember,
In me now the absence dwelt,
Realizing the intensity of the words I pelt,
Recalling how much I swear,
To not near her even if it's a dare.

I remember,
Being so lost in there,
Reclining now is my health,
My source of happiness,myself, I stealth.
For it hadn't resided in my wealth.

I remember,
I broke my princess,
Tore her heart into shreds,
Thinking it was needed,
But really, it was a trend that retreads.
That of sneaky choices bent.

It unknowingly sank my ship as well,
Putting down the sails that had made me a gazelle.

By my hands, I shattered us two,
To the bond we shared, Adieu.
