Words of Trust To the Grave

Words of trust to the grave

These circumstances I go through 
Cause a battle of the heart 
A lengthy conflict of emotions I can't separate apart
Thoughts of you are wrestling continuously in my mind 
You the opponent holding me down intertwine

This relationship I will not persist
You can't explain your understanding so you resist
Avoiding confrontation nothing ever happened
Yet we can't discuss so it's blackened

Our existence liken to the fall of man
Funneling into the abyss 
From which our nightmare began
Given to you all the deepness of my inside
Taken away the enclosed place to hide

Feeling used and abused and so abandoned
Escaping my life you become the phantom 
Your spoken words of love "to the grave"
Have taken me under like the ocean wave

From this condition I have learned
Your had no concern
You never kept your word
The words of trust have been disposed
 Into the grave to decompose

Hi Margaret I like your poem . you communicated very well your message to the grave...it reminds me of a poetic verse in Urdu which is translated as: Why don't i sleep clinging with you, Oh Grave After all i got you by giving my life."
