FROZEN TIME
Forever igniting the
fire within me,
Reverberating the
waves of despair;
Only to find a
deeply burnt hole,
Zoned right through
my once naive heart.
Empathy empathized
me to trust you,
Neglecting my heart’s
health as it consumed your repeated lies.
Time felt frozen with
you around.
Ingloriously drowned
myself in blind faith. Alas,
My love for you
froze with the frozen time,
Ever-lasting love
ceased to exist the moment you chose to desert me with a mangled and bruised
heart.
