Ulcer

A story that began at an altar
But ended beyond the pyre

While his heart he did surrender,
For the promise of a wonder
It kept him waiting for ever
Subjecting him to torture

He fell in the nether
Over and over
Wishing for a saviour
But there was his lover

Watching him going under
In the unflickering fire
Her eyes manic with pleasure
He saw her rancor, so bitter

And as she broke into laughter
Then came the reaper, looking for fodder
