Hello dearest,
how are you now?
You have soothed your
wanderlust; yes?

I have always
loved you. Despite
the greif you caused
Me.  Terrible.

Covered by your blanket,
tossing in our bed.  I hold
a charm of a Virgin.  She
has been sent to keep
me company.  Always.

I guess dieties grow weary.

I try to quell my disdain,
forget the anguish you caused and
yet I'm still haunted by inexplicable
feelings of fondess,
longing, lust, and love.

Am I massicistic?  Probably.
Who else would subject themself to such
torture?  

How poetic.  Simply sickening.

I'm not sure if I'm trying to fool myself
when I assert or denouce my love for her.
I know I still love her.
Why won't she let me?

Opinions are like bellybuttons: eveybody's got 'em and they're good for nothing.

The story right? Not the poem itself?

Beowulf you took some time off from chasing Grendell to write a very interesting style poem. I thought it was very good and I found the sadness to be very caustic, leaving a strong mark on the mind.
