Perfect Misery

Sweet words escaped your soft lips.

Promises made in whispered breath.

Secrets revealed between you and I

Of feelings long felt.

 

Three perfect weeks and

Seven days of misery never forgotten.

Five seconds of apologies and

A lifetime of heartache you gave to me.

 

Promises quickly broken.

Truths turned to lies.

Your words like daggers

Sliced into my heart.

 

Something made for love,

Something made to be cherished

Fitting wonderfully in your palms

Crushed with words so easily.

 

You said forever and I believed.

Twice you were sure,

Twice you were wrong.

Love never more.

 

What happened between us?

What happened to the love?

So much emotion and so much passion is felt from you words. This sad tale is often read in many poems..but I like your originality here. The way you organize your words make this flow very well. Strongly built love.. and yet it can be destroyed so fast... such a powerful meaning within this poem.. Keep writing from your heart.. your strength lies there and is really felt from reading your poems. Thank you for sharing!
