DEATH Poem: Medusas blessing, by Thomas Larr

So let me drag my eyes across your beauty,
and willingly turn myself to stone.
To face divine punishment
just to gaze upon you.
If love is a curse,
then let it take me whole.
Let it make a monument of me,
still and silent,
with nothing left but your eternal love.
Etched into every part of me
don’t say you’re sorry,
Because it’s not any fault of yours.
I chose to be forever remembered,
As the one who was strong enough
to look upon his lover even if it meant death.
And i didn’t do it to escape you,
I’d never let you think you’re not good enough.
You’re beautiful and I know you’ll never know
how much I worry about our future.
I hope one day we can embrace under the starlit sky somewhere within the clouds.
As we have an oath to protect and love one another
or did you forget I meant to keep well on my promise?
As even in death my heart is yours.
