Delicate

In light you will ebb, in dark you will flow,

the death of trust will cause you to grow.

Not in anger, and not in pain,

even when there is no Angel to stop the rain.

She was my Angel, or so that I thought,

her smile, such trust it had brought.

And that trust, how delicate it was,

between her and I, I thought there to be love.

But one million shards, scattered from trust,

broke before the moment that I’d had enough.

I tried to take lightly the one lie that she said,

but the trust won’t mold together again.

So, I am left here, she is gone from me,

but she is not worthy any blood I could bleed.

And I find, so fast, she fades away,

and I find she is not worth a single ounce of my hate.

I can really relate, great poem! :)

This is title appropriately.. life itself is delicate, when you add another, it becomes even more so, when trust is broken, you walk a fine delicate line between love and hate.. I think your poem does a wonderful job of describing the delicacy and the choice made to note give in to hate. The Rhyme is also wonderful and gives a nice flow to the poem. Excellent job.

"So, I am left here, she is gone from me,
but she is not worthy any blood I could bleed."
The poem is strong and I like the story in the words. Life teaches us the truth about people. They can break our hearts. But we can't allow hate to blind us. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

Amen:) I couldn't agree more. So many people bleed themselves out over a lost love. Once you realize "your" truth in her lies...well that's enough to set you free.. You've penned these emotions well :) xx

Well done, Luke. The rhythm of your lines breaks up a little toward the end, but that is a minor distraction to the overall poem. You've conveyed a real sense of how difficult trust is to cultivate and maintain in love. Thank you, sir.

This is an amazing poem. It flows beautifully, and the power of the word usage is completely overwhelming. I cannot possibly comprehend how good of a poet you are. through this poem, I feel your pain.
