Except for the beats of her heart
A gentle smile broke on his face
As he was holding her merciful hand
He shifted closer to her, and with grace,
Kissed her, and gave her a wedding band
Her large round eyes opened widely
And the dark silence stood still
Thoughts in her head ran wildly
Though uncertainty was the answer at will.
But as her lips slowly began to move
He swept her off her feet in haste
And evanesced with her before she could approve.
Alas! Her tranquility forever she’d encase.
Rough winds howled in the vanishing sun
And moonless nights enveloped her soul
Her regret and worries she thought she could outrun,
But his claws had already pierced a hole
In her soft innocent heart, so deep,
And with his fangs he tore her apart
And scattered her flesh for the Grim to reap
Except for the beats of her heart.
But her powerless pulse had changed direction
And beat life into a new soul
Marked by apathy yet bold determination
To conquer his venom as a whole.
And now after months of her resurrection
Between her small fingers she holds
Her pen, with which she seeks his destruction
Through prose her gallantry unfolds.

STOPerrr... yes, I must confess to being a tad confused as well...
It's based on a true story, I guess that's why it's confusing.
Basically he confessed his love to her, but it was all a lie. He's a narcissist who manipulated her love for him.
Plus it's a poem..poetry sometimes is not supposed to make sense to everyone :)
Ah yes, love in real life is so often confusing! And if you read one of my poems you'd understand how some does indeed go over my head... Thanks for your reply, I will read it anew...
thank you for your reply as well, I will definitely check them out :)
Haha... its a true and very subtle love story about a rooster called Red.... And I challenge you to think of a constructive comment to make about it!
It is an interesting poem, but it confused me a little bit in the middle.
Who is he and what is the reason for doing this to her?
A narcissist who manipulated her love for him. Narcissistic people do not love, and they view their partner as a tool...in this poem, I'm writing about this girl who was ruined because of his manipulation of her.
