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.
