More than what we bargained for..

my hope is almost gone

while I watch the vultures

ponce upon

my heart is torn to bits

my spirit, lost it's wits

and every step I take away

I miss you more and more

we sat upon the shore

albeit ready to leap,

ready to soar

but it was not for you or I 

to know

the indeterminate amount of love

that we would lose
and yet abhor
 not knowing
was part of our folk lore

I lay my head upon your shoulder

 we nestle in your bed

you and I together

I loved you from 

my lows, we innocents 

in the throws
of something

so the story goes

there was love in your

eyes and hope in the smallest

of our woes

It's been months

since we watched 

the bitter unfold

I couldn't give it anymore

for somehow we knew this was 

lost upon

that shore

They've come to 

take my love from me now

 fading fast as if

it never mattered anyhow

 collapsing on 

the both of us

somehow you 

took my heart and 

and I took yours
every step I take now 

I look over my shoulder
to see you turn around
and then I know
because what we
have is
way more then ever
what
we bargained for....
