The lie

Perpetuated

In the loving trust

Now shattered

How can I believe

With a broken heart

Unmended?

The death of trust

Is one not easily

Rectified

Or resurrected

A mistake

That time may never heal

A wound

Unable to knit together

The drugs

Are tearing us apart

The Enigma unsolved

A mystery

So sad

The ending of a story?

The fairy tale

Not happily ever after

Anymore

A dark cloud

Over the forest

As it burns

Will love quench the flames?

Will I learn to trust

Again

With a broken heart?

A second chance?

Why can't this be simple?

A question without an answer

Will I say goodbye?

I can't

I love him

heartbreak

About the Creator

Maia Gadwall the metAlchemist

I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. Then, I went crazy and started a cult called metAlchemy, or meta alchemy. I revere energy of all brands, esp. good, kind chaos.
