Carole Duet Poet Free verse

Banished

It’s an ache in my chest,
A loss of breath,
Hot tears and no rest.

It’s a sacrifice of love
On a platter of pain.
Down low I remain.

It’s a fall from grace
To a dark empty place.
Disgraced.

It’s a loss of my sun,
A bloody moon,
Banished from paradise too soon.

It’s a why and a how,
A mystery,
 To go from heaven to misery.
