Wicked Path

This poem is a little on the dark side, unlike my other poems. But I hope you guys enjoy it all the same!

  

Wicked Path

The heart, once so delicate and tender,
Wishes only to rip and tear apart its offender.
The heart, once so serene and calm,
Wishes only to hurt and harm.

What has brought about this transition,
That every beautiful flower seems brutal.
What has brought it to such a position,
That every tender hearted person seems cruel.

At first, uplifted to cloud nine,
To the parallel universe where everything seemed to be fine.
But with one betrayal and one frown,
Her world was turned upside down.

The whisperings of sweet nothings,
Now seemed like regretful mutterings.
Those little moments of love,
Just turned out to be the devil's cove.

Her life now seemed a dreary existence.
She found herself only wishing to distance
Herself from the reach of love and affection,
Wishing to break off all her connections.

What she failed to realise,
Was the fact that there was a whole world of people who loved her,
People who were willing to sacrifice and compromise
Their lives, so that happiness could be hers.

But when reality, upon her, did dawn,
It was too late, for she was lost and gone.
She hadn’t even sung her final swansong,
When death had claimed her for his own.
