Tragedy In Black

Brittney Tyler 8/17/15 My life has become a living tragedy Where once I stood proud and happy I now hover in the shadows Covered by a veil of black Consumed in my jealousy I was rainbows and butterflies before you Now, everything is bleak I have become a tragedy in black Consumed by a carnal obsession Drove mad by hurt and betrayal Left broken and abandoned My inner fire, extinguished I sit and watch you move on from a distance While I sit stuck inside the cage you trapped me in Dark, Alone, and Broken

Everyone who knows me always tells me i'm just rainbows and butterflies all the time because of my general positive outlook on life, so I felt like I had to put it in there somewhere
