Of Katy and Narcissus (52 hertz)
Following
In the gloom of dell
Command and repeat the spell
That held the blaze
Of you and me
Why did I jump so bold into your arms?
Pining
In the forest of grief
Tear and scatter the leaf
That held the hope
Of you and me
What made you torment both our souls?
Floating
In the river of vigour
Fade and smote the figure
That held the quail
Of you and me
When did you lose your own reflection?
Waiting
In the meadow of retribution
Taunt and spleen the illusion
That held the regret
Of you not me
How did I find the sound of my own voice?

What an original concept/structure for a poem.
If I'm right in my interpretation, then I love the ending - you finding your voice, albeit in a lonely world, is a better outcome than just being a victim.
I enjoyed this. Am not sure that you've put the 52 Hertz on it though - it's not coming up when I do a search on the tag.
