I Thought You Hung the Stars

I loved you unconditionally. I thought you hung the stars. You were my hero. I didn't know you were a fake. A wolf in sheep clothing preying on the young and innocent. You robbed me of my innocence. All at once my dreams shattered in a million pieces and the night- began.Death made its way into my soul. I became a"dead girl" walking. My trust in people died as well. 11-1-16 Alexis Y.

When someone breaks our trust they also break off a piece of our innocence and it is quite painful. Sadness and anger combine in a confused and lost feeling. Then they become something else, but this write isn't there yet. Well done - even the style compliments the anger and hurt. Dramatic write, for a dramatic topic ... CayCay

OMG! Alexis I love this peom so much it struck me to my core. This remind me so of my dark time with my ex boyfriend of 10 years. He was a prince charming turned into the walking devil... But thank you Jesus that days are behind me like forever. Honey I'm not going to play counselor but we have to forgive the rotten apples in move on happy. Because if we don't we give them more power over us. Remember our life lessons become our blessings.

Hi Patrice, I agree, with those words. Not only that when we don't forgive we give perpetrator the power to dictate our lives. I appreciate that you stopped by:-) Alexis

Relatable and often so sadly true, women need to position their own starry nights. :)

Soul robbers will be judged, Alexis. God's grace can heal every hurtful thing done to us. Love the raw honest emotions voiced in this poem. Good job. Love and peace, RW.

Oh my, this is so deeply sad Alexis, it breaks my heart to read because the emotions are expressed so loudly. Life is filled with these moments and yes, they can definitely change our outlook on other, but for every one who breaks your heart, there is another who only want to bring a smile to your face. Loved the poem but in a very sad way.
