Think Again

You think someone in this world loves you? 
Think again 
From what you though were sunny days full of laughter and joy 
Were actually cloudy days getting ready to destroy
everything you thought before, forgotten
left to linger and unspoken,
Think again 
as glass shattering echoes behind doors closed 
making you feel just as broken and exposed,
as bruises turn from black to blue 
you realise plants that grew 
happier than you 
Why are they allowed the sun and rain 
when for you everyday is pain,
Pain as you estrange 
people you thought loved you 
Pain as you shut the wooden door behind you,
and travel to a world you know to be untrue,
Oh but how you wish it were true,
Flowers that bloom from mystical maroon trees,
Letting you look away and forget the memories
of nights so dark that the brightest star was merely a seconds spark,
Days so gloomy that it might as well be dark
I once thought that someone in this world loved me 
so I thought again.

Brave right. Poetry soup is a safe venue for bursting the boil. Also a good place to heal if the pain is yours that you are writing of. Poetry is a talent that you can share with others and make a difference in others lives in unexpected ways. I suspect in reading this work which is powerful indeed that You have not given up on Love and you will make it out the other side to enjoy soaking up sunshine and opening up your petals to catch dew drops to quench your thirst.

The hurt is deep when you are betrayed by one whom you thought loved you. This piece is written with such deep emotion. Welcome to Poetry Soup, Phenix Blue. John
