With lies ignored and foolish hope,
your heart beats still for what you once held dear.
And bloodied fingers, chewed and raw
cling desperate to promises
and smiles once oh so sweet.
.
His hollow words drip sacharine
and cold once tender touch
and fist and tongue and crimson rage
cast blame and fault and fingers point
and head hangs low in shame
Ensnared, entwined, in unison
they lie, alone beneath the sheets
Warm breath, rough hands, those future plans
that pillow talk, now empty sounds
blood flows through veins but weak
And morning follows night alas
days slip into the grey
of habit, forced endearing smiles
and months, turn years and decades pass
and winter brings release at last
