Analysis of A Heart's Curse
I am not so much a woman scorned as I am a woman forlorn
Grown tired of loving a man that professes that he cannot love her back
Not because she unworthy of his love, but because of superficial things
Such as the hair on my head is not the color of the sun, it is raven black
Yet his confession to his friends is that this same woman is
Absolutely everything that he desires
Minus the fact that she lacks the body that sets his soul on fire
She is not the image of the fabled translucent beauty
That he always rhapsodizes of
And after so many years of rivers of tears
She has decided to give up on this love
So instead of hating you like most women would do,
These are my final words to you--
May you forever roam the world searching for the girl that may not exist
I hope that you never get blessed with true love's kiss
I pray that your shining armor rust with the wind
And the love that you hunger for never show itself to you again.
Maybe one day you will find out what its like to love someone like you
To have your heart crushed incessantly and your dreams to never come true
To have to hear for numerous years of how your desires are not fulfilled
Yet you choose to constantly look past me
And if you persist to seek with only your human eyes
Then they never will be.
