Jilted

Here we go again

Stabbing pain

Of a loveless strain

The croak of a cry

Stifled

By trembling lips

Tear filled eyes

Shimmer and dance

By candlelight

A breaking heart

Coursing

Through hollow veins

Traces of you

Linger

Throughout the room

My smile reserved

Just for you

Wilted

Passion, replaced

By fears

Jilted

Paradigms

Of a relationship

Shifted

Emotions… Drifted

Here we go again

Trying to piece what’s left

To un-feel the pain

To unleash the cry

To unshed the tears

Bring back your trace

Un-wilt the flower

Erase the fears

But even in my fears

I’m jilted

In my deepest darkest fears,

I have indeed wilted.
