The Path I could Not See

I wrote this many years ago. This sonnet is meant to depict the emotion which follows betrayal.

No light, no flame, no way to come around.

No chance of life or love; see lonely roads,

All tattered, beaten, broken is the ground,

Where once we stood, as once we walked along,

The Road which brought us here, that led us on.

What happened to the path, I cannot say;

Missed I a turn in which we two did meet,

Or scarcely had I seen the fork in way,

Which separated each our path to go?

Alone and lost without a friend to trust, 

I fall upon the things I did not know,

And wonder why our friendship lay to rust;

And through this all I’m left to wonder why;

Does caring let us live, or make us die?

Author's Note

I realize this one does not particularly follow a normal rhyme scheme. I break the rules sometimes, even without noticing. Hopefully it can still be enjoyed for the writing :)

My reply to your author's note is that you can just follow my motto-Poetry is lawless! Some don't agree, but I don't care :D Anywho I thought this piece was beautifully expressed. Very emotional and sincere. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks ^^ and I agree, when you're in the moment, it's whatever comes out that makes the work, as long as it's legible XD Thank you for the review :)
