soliloquy

broken masterpiece

Envisaged as a radiant tapestry,
I sensed its beauty through my heartbeat,
As our paths intertwined for the first time,
I knew it held the essence of destiny,
An encounter that would shape my world.

Leaving traces of scent, long-lasting,
Imprinted memories, forever carved,
I sensed it from the start,
No love like ours would ever grace my path again.

Yet, unprepared, I trembled in fear,
Reluctant to relinquish my emotions,
Navigating unfamiliar grounds,
Years of solitude made it strange.

I wielded a knife unknowingly,
Inflicting wounds upon your soul,
Unaware of the depth of my cuts,
Failing to grasp the wounds inflicted on you,

Deep within, I hold a genuine wish,
That you would embrace me, hold me tight.
Yet, as I offered you my mended heart,
You found yourself unable to embrace the love,
Leaving me confused by this sudden turn,

Why paint a picture of forever,
A future promising warmth and love,
If they were hollow, never to be fulfilled,
Now I'm left broken, shattered beyond repair,

Disbelief now clouds my view,
Words of love from a once-beloved soul,
Promises to never depart, a story once told.
You shattered me, more than before, in disdain.
You tore my spirit, destroyed me whole,
Leaving me broken, lost without a role.

In this sea of despair, I'm adrift, unsure,
my heart's wounds are still raw and pure.
The depths of my brokenness, hard to embrace,
I yearn for solace, seeking a saving grace.

Oh, my dear lover, once held so dear,
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish,
That these thoughts didn't consume me,
But now it seems our love was a facade,
A lie,
and I foolishly, fell into its trap.
