Once Upon a Love Story

This heart was once a bed of 
roses
But now the flowers are 
withered.
And no glue can mend it.
The morning dew will fall 
aground
And the butterflies will die of 
thirst
Because all the roses are gone.

This heart was once a wall of 
defense
But now it is broken in pieces
No builder can rebuild it.
The ties that bounds is broken
And the center can no longer 
hold
Sadly, things are fallen apart. 

This heart was once the home 
of smiles and beauty
But now overtaken by tears and 
frowns
No makeups can change it.
The betrayal of a friend is so 
hurting
And trust is a treasure now 
missing
I doubt if love can happen 
once again.
