Lost

Tears fell down
ivory cheeks,
from hallowed eyes
that fateful morning.

You think love could've lasted,
through the tribulation
and rocky shores,
waiting,
searching
for something more.

I loved you once-
you fooled my twice
shame on you\for breaking such a fragile heart.

You smiled at the self-made thought
you found the Utopian dream,
in crowds of popular comments
and smiling faces.

You threw love away
in a heartbeat
that wasn't even yours to have.
You walked by
without a glace,
and made me realize
I'm lost.

In a world where
the simplest emotion
makes you run and hide
behind a false mask
you never wore at first.

I once thought love was kind-
but it's just lonely and cruel
I once thought you'd stay beside me forever-
but you didn't; and I'm lost without you.
