Betrayal

Her eyes betrayed her and in that moment he saw an ocean between them- so sweet her smile that so oft would light his world now empty, cold and false. Her manner though polite held no warmth he saw a desert between them- so empty her words that once filled him with joy now she brushed away a tear to affirm it. His heart broken and promises lay waste as he turned to leave and in that moment he knew- his imagination had not tricked him clear as day turns to night he had lost her. Once he had ventured in hope of a great love now he was broken and, like a mirror that falls and shatters- his hopes and dreams lay in shards upon the ground and his heart in as many pieces.
