Sarah Bryant Poet Free verse

Foolish

I opened my heart
A heart without walls
Fragile & weak
Tired … damaged
I bared my soul
My past, my fears
My ghosts.
We shared
We laughed
We kissed
Together we danced,
Like children without cares
In the rain
Under the stars …. I was hypnotised
Your sensual mouth 
Words softly spoken 
Securely penned for eternity
With meaning and with truth
Kind, affectionate, sweet and pure
We loved and made love …. Do you remember?
Your sensual red lips brushed mine
Your kisses … so passionate
Your smile, radiating the universe, converting dark to light
And your eyes… Oh God, your eyes
Penetrate me, sparkling like diamonds
We were alive, happy, together…. Just us
Smiles now forgotten, tears in their place
Your sensual red lips now speak venom, hate and rage
A once beautiful face now distorted, unrecognisable 
Your dazzling eyes, dark, angry… Evil
Your words now destroy me, the agony too intense
What happened? What changed? Why? Why?
I try to forget you, the memories will not allow
I think of the happy times, I smile but the tears follow
My heart is now closed, the walls are back up
Ripped to shreds by the man I loved
My heart burns like a furnace, deep inside I am dying
I loved you then, I love you now,
And I always will

Skat A January 3, 2016 at 5:15 AM Well expressed, Sarah. The joy of love is not always as it seems. I like the mid look into your poem... Never giving up. I admire that. Many walk away, as soon as they see untitled to support change. If it was once there, why let it die. Amazing write.
