How Love Died

Years of broken promises fell in hardened tears
And feeling safe, now feeling threatened, turned to fear
Lust accused of losing her appeal, turned to dust
Leaving suspicion, where once there had been trust

That once beautiful love, was slowly put to death
Poisoned by  those cruel words that took her  every breath
Leaving her a lonely soul with a broken heart
As his true colours finally stepped, out of the dark
