Fractured Fairytales

The love that once burned with a radiant light,

Now flickers and fades, lost in the night.

Her heart, a fortress with a rusted gate,

Shuts me outside, sealing my fate.

Dreams we meticulously crafted with glee,

Lie scattered and broken, a painful debris.

Trust, a fragile crystal, shattered to dust,

Leaving behind a future filled with disgust.

I held your hand, pieced you back together,

Fought your demons in all kinds of weather.

But for a stranger's charm, your feelings did stray,

Leaving me empty, tossed out in the way.

Misunderstandings, like weeds, they did creep,

Choking the love we so desperately kept.

Your affection dwindled, a whisper, a sigh,

This love, once vibrant, is destined to die.

Tears well in my eyes, a torrent of pain,

A silent scream echoes, a relentless refrain.

My heart, shattered to pieces, lies scattered around,

Lost and alone, with no place to be found.
