(A sad voice whispers)
Mary Lou the medium channelled you late last night
She recited what you said
Saying poetry is simply beautiful for it's also the language of the dead
She spoke saying you were waiting by the Cherry Tree for a last message from me
Before you found the courage to ask Saint Peter for forgiveness and clemency
So here's my final words
May if we meet again
Meet unknowing but stay as two passing strangers
For this hurt I carry feels like I've been stabbed deep by one of the seven Daggers of Megiddo
For wherever I go
I always remember
A woman like you reminds me of the mythical Medusa
For you wickedly left me sleeping nearly every night to meet Luca
My twin brother and lied for years
Leaving me forever to now sit and sleep alone in the dark
Filled with wet tears
Castaway to always wander lonely streets
Always forsaken and painfully apart from any chance of a new happiness
Even though your golden wedding ring
Still adorns my finger
And tendrils of our beloved treasured
Memories still linger in sad moments of stillness
Despite through stealing the heart
Of a younger stranger
My own younger brother
By five seconds
Leaving me heartbroken
Feeling rejected
Like an adolescent teenager
Mea Culpa
It feels like it was all my fault because I just loved and foolishly gave you too much
