Forgotten Fairytale

Wounded thinking and shattered illusions about love

 

 

I thought I knew you

  Your spirit, your soul

       Somehow~

I became accustomed

       to your flaws

Inured, in some way

       by my belief in you

And so...

       I lingered on

 I had faith in you

I blinded my eyes

       To the selfishness in your soul

Everything seemed to be

       Just about you...

Never me

       My blinded eyes led me

to an empty space

       that barren place

you call your soul

       My own mind and heart

betrayed me

       Just like you betrayed me   

Your deceitful, selfish affection

       misled me

I  believed in your illusion

       My heart was tattered

shattered like fine, crystal glass

       Now~

I've finally come to this conclusion

      This time

I know who you really are

      You are one

That I've trained my self

    To no longer desire

      And yet- I feel sad and empty

      Something is gone…

Something I never really had

WOW! This poem was really powerful! I know many people have gone through this type of relationship...at first, it is like a fairytale come true, but then reality crashes in and it is not what it seems! Beautiful as always!
