Serpents

There was so much love
But there was also

Too much jealousy 

And insatiable desire 

To possess 

Existed as serpent 

In ego

Thriving on killing

And consuming love

Castles and castles were build

Over and over they fell

Destroyed by the fire of anger 

Love didn't give up

Tried and tried 

Getting weaker and weaker

Skin and bones

Taking its last breaths

But still have light of hope

In its sunken eyes
