Bitter rejection

Young of age....

I saw no fear....

Then he just died....

A child so dear... 

I thought i loved...

She showed no grace...

My vision blurred...

But no tears on my face...

But life went on...

Gave pain no break...

She nodded yes...

I found her fake...

Again and again...

My tarnished heart....

If found a spot...

Simply torn apart....

So i vowed no more...

I would grow cold....

Sit on the porch...

And just grow old...

Then a flash of light...

Pierced my heart....

Surely one time....

Love would not depart...

But the devil came...

Tore her from my grip...

He pulled her down...

Lashed with his whip....

He slashed my heart...

He did not miss...

I lay in ruin...

Waiting for a lavender kiss....
