Destiny of Tragedy

Inside these caverns of treasure
Inside these caverns of pleasure
I’ve found ecstasy
I’ve found agony
It’s my tragedy
It’s my destiny
I can’t accept these things that you left me
One empty promise after another
Inadequate lover
Now I see you for what you are
You’re never going to reach the stars
Inadequate liar 
Burn in the fire
Bleed eternally
I sift through the ashes
Now just memories of what used to be
It’s all gone now
Now these walls stand in between
It’s my tragedy
It’s my destiny…

Very thought-provoking write, Joseph. Hope you can release the ashes of these sad memories and find a brighter destiny. Anyone who makes empty promises does not deserve to win a poet's heart. Welcome to Poetry Soup! Love, Carolyn
