Love Destroyed

 

How did we end up so estranged?

We’ve loved each other many years

With words like swords we severed

Each others hearts to shreds last night

 

In grief I wandered through the day

Wondering how to stitch the wounds

Repair the damage we have done

But only silence answered me

 

Quiet so deep we screamed without words

Wounded looks we passed each way

A home with boundaries, we dared not cross

Night enfolds but sleep evades me even now.

 

We grown so distant you and I

I loved you once so much it hurt

But now the words; the damage done

Disdain consumes what love is left.
