Heartache

She threw herself at heartbreak like a moth drawn to a flame. Patching up her broken wings, just to try it again, and the world all thought her foolish, for she never seemed to learn, but how do you save somebody, who's convinced they should burn ?

She embraced ​him during the lonely hours of night and walked the path of shame early in the mornings ​. What would become of the foolish girl searching for fondness and affection in all the wrong places. Arriving at camouflaged heartbreaks disguised as mortals who welcomed her with open arms promising false tenderness.

False feelings

False intimacy

False prophecy of goodwill

She was flying, soaring to horizons far beyond anyone's eye

He gave her flight, made her feel as if she were a precious jewel

So rare

So significant

So unique

The illusion ended sooner than she thought

He no longer wanted what she had already given

Suddenly this beautiful woman was descending faster to earth than light itself

She hit the concrete with a solid impact

So hard it took some time to realize that she was no longer airborne

He was gone

Already into the arms of another who was once imperceptible

Who had fallen the same

Who had flied the same

Who had cried the same

Who was loving indifferently

She was disposed of

Sorrow now festers inside her rotting all things that were once alive

She is deprived of intimacy

Of attachment

Of endearment

Of being someone's beloved

Time will heal these infected wounds

But the memories will always lie within

His image chained to the corners of her mind

His words carved from existence
