Broken

Come, let’s write our chronicles
on the leaves of our minds
you in black, I in white ink.
Tales of how our hearts got 
B    R    O   K    E    N.  

Come, let me hear the lyrics
of the dirge you warbled for love
-while the dwindling flare of hope died and 
your life began through the ashes of sham-

Come, let me tell you of my yarn
how I swayed to the rhythm of deceit
and walked the aisle of betrayal like
a new bridal fool relishing  the warmth of a lie.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
