Tragedy In Black

Brittney Tyler
8/17/15

My life has become a living tragedy
Where once I stood proud and happy
I now hover in the shadows
Covered by a veil of black
Consumed in my jealousy
I was rainbows and butterflies before you
Now, everything is bleak
I have become a tragedy in black
Consumed by a carnal obsession
Drove mad by hurt and betrayal
Left broken and abandoned
My inner fire, extinguished
I sit and watch you move on from a distance
While I sit stuck inside the cage you trapped me in
Dark, Alone, and Broken
