The breaking of
broken glass
Shattered like my heart
you walked away
in silence
without a backward glance
Loves ever
enfolding dream
planned for eternity
thrown away
like ashes into the
waves of the sea
Searching my soul
my mistake?
life’s trials life’s mistakes
threaded into webs
we make
He had my
heart and soul he
took all that was offered
No better than a thief
he stole
I was blinded by his charm
his shallowness hidden
by his fake facade
Loves tortured lessons
we learn we survive
Next time we’ll be
stronger - it's
all a part of life
