Contest-Broken Promises-Sponsor-Silent One-6/26/26
The broken promise of love led me to a lonely lifeless path where the scale that weighs pain was held by the hands of deceit Once...love passed between our eyes it felt real and warmly tender this emotional gift of promise was shared in moments of confessed surrender never knowing how fragile a heartbeat was how easily it flickers like moonlight hidden behind drifting clouds passing on a cold breeze of betrayal breaking my bewildered heart leaving only standing stones, soft with moss as monuments to yesterday around the pyre of my hearts borrowed corpse its ashes carried off into a haunted darkness where shadows hide and weep, for what was beautiful it all ended in a silent faceless hush before the saddest violins began to play inside my heart each cord a memory unraveling in pain until the music faded away, never to be heard again So, it is...the love I believed to be real was an illusion
