Wrecked Fantasy

Scratched my eyes once, saw the truth twice
But the pain is triple killing
Your summer citrus smell on my cracked shell
Rotted like hell in my cerebral wishing well

How can my phantom sanctuary betray me?
It feels vivid in the podium made by yours truly
Now it's empty, abandoned, and hopeless
Now I am the empress of wrecked fantasy

How I thought you'd be the hero of my heart
And how I wish your soul forever embraces mine
But my screams didn't even reach your mind
Now I died hurting and you lived with my cries

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
