Petrified Heart: a Tale of Treachery

In a labyrinth of treachery, my broken hearts cries, From an unspoken betrayal, that no love survives. She deemed my love wanting, a river too weak, While I poured all into her, till I became a creek. My silent vows etched into every setting sun, Her needs, my command, until the day was done. I never complained, grumbled, nor moan She always wanted more, wanting a pet to own. A blunder, she weeps, her voice a hollow song, Her reptilian tears swear to have wished no wrong. Claims of love, of missing our yesteryears' night, Yet, now I see her true nature, a bloodsucking parasite. Once, an angel of light in my star-struck gaze, Now a golem, a specter in the burning blaze. Her visage, once my sanctuary, now vile, obscene, I should’ve foreseen that she was tainted and unclean "I cannot bear your sight," I declare, broken, torn, My heart, a sculpture of stone, in her love's scorn. No more, I will overcome this relentless pain, For you've petrified my heart, it’ll never feel again.
