Love Poem: Crushed

Crushed

Crushed, by the fickle hand of fate, hope collapses, crumbling away. And all that's left is fear and hate, love got lost in the games you play. I was blind, but thought I could see, so I let you lead from the start. And every time you lied to me I believed you, with all my heart. Cast away, with naught but my fears, I felt last-night was our last night. And I cried a river of tears watching you slowly fade from sight. After waking from nightmare screams, I feel broken and out of place. And forsaking my hopes and dreams, I question what future I face. (Quatrain) 06/17/2020
