-
Held closely,
Listening to a slow,
Steady heartbeat.
A smile spreading slowly
Across her face.
“Is this happiness?”
A question falling unanswered,
For no answer is needed.
He gently kisses her,
She knows the answer to that question.
Breaking the kiss,
She smiles at him.
He held her close,
Whispering gently into her ear,
Words of love,
Promises of happiness.
Knowing it to be true,
She surrenders herself to him,
Body and soul,
Such happiness and pleasure never known.
In the arms of the one she loves.
The morning came,
Finding herself alone in the bed,
A sigh falling from her lips,
She lays back,
Holding the cover around her naked form.
He had warned her,
Said he would be gone in the morning
But the promises to return kept her going,
Made her get up and face the new day.
As time passes so slowly,
Everything changes,
He changes,
He had been so sweet to her,
Caring,
Kind,
He had sworn his love to her.
The days grow darker,
Everything was wrong,
The beautiful lie melting away,
The lie told to her by the man she loved,
She had given her everything to.
Her heart shattered,
Destroyed by someone that had
Misled her,
Lied,
Took everything
Freely given.
That pain,
Growing with each beat of her
Broken heart.
Too much to bear as it is,
But that day,
He looks upon her with such hatred,
Telling her he never wanted to see her again.
The tears falling down her cheeks,
Never ending.
The pain,
Too much to bear.
The blade held in her hand,
Trembling,
Making light dance along the walls,
She doesn’t even pause.
Drawing the blade across the tender flesh,
Not even noticing the pain,
For it is nothing compared to what she feels from her
Broken heart.
As she lays dying,
She can imagine a beautiful lie,
Held closely,
Listening to a slow,
Steady heartbeat.
Held once again,
In the arms of the only one
She could ever love.
She keeps the beautiful lie
Taking it to her grave.
As her friends mourn the loss of this beautiful soul
Who couldn’t take the pain.
