Not Love

walking into 
an orchard
someone ate 
the apple
i see rotten
inside core

silent teardrops
falling deeply
screaming inside
noiseless pain
a shadow
cursing 
the sadness

a ghost
of mourning
an empty void
crying unfilled
one vacant ache
echoes  sorrow
suffering loss

dreary eyed
walking this road
embraced in darkness
lost a second heartbeat
love you do 
not hurt inside
i was a fool
in loving

love you never
let me down
only now one sees
behind the mask
a lying face
shatters and breaks
in truth love
all an illusion

love opens 
the eyes coldly
lost in 
a million pieces
all shattered dreams
never to be found
on a different planet

in the reflection
shattered feelings
everyone 
a broken dream
it was not love
who done this 
to me
sorry love
