Betrayal

I remember feeling sunshine washing up against the fabric of my soul. It filled the cracks and crevices. Dripped dramatically, filling holes. I remember feeling loved as you sought me out like tide to innocent shore. It was an upside-down attraction. Riddled with bony shells that revealed the carnage - your shadowy core. I remember feeling lost like the sun, as night devoured day. I gave all of that trusting tint as you mixed it, maliciously into memories that fade and rust, turn to dust - flitter away. I remember feeling empty as you lay it down before me, dead and still. My heart that once beat loudly, now hides like an injured animal, evading the the final blow - the kill.
