Three of Swords

Three of Swords ~

Shows over

Curtain closes

She’s not the one receiving roses

Exposed emotions

Shallow devotion

Deep as the ocean

Her love won’t keep

Blessings not reaped

Can’t touch the ground

Hands are bound

Waves of sadness

Dark canvas

No second chances

Eyes for the masses

Senses disinterest

She’s intuitively different

In over her head

Chooses herself instead

Three of Swords through her heart

Failed this connection from the start

Rejection, Heartbreak, and Grief

Needs relief

Lays down the burden

Certain of God’s Plan

He takes her by the hand

Promises a grand love story

Glory be

Right on time

Sublime beauty

Passion unruly

Truly he’s dear

Apology sincere

Resistance is clear

Admits she’s wrong

Feels they belong

Mind over matter

Heart on a platter

It doesn’t matter

Lesson learned

Burned by fire

Satire so witty

Such a pity

She's left in his cold

No happily ever after to unfold

sad poetry
