Glitter, Roses and Rain

From A Broken Soul

You look back and watch

As the past turns from you

And runs

Back to empty kisses,

Broken promises

Back to that night

When he lost the light in his smile

The laughter in his eyes

His silence still haunts you

But you force yourself to remember,

So,

You go back and evoke

All the painful memories;

When he fell before your feet

In a crumpled heap, on the floor

And most of all

You remember

Vividly

The way it felt

As he shattered, looking back at you

As he stumbled out the house,

Lifeless—

So you convince yourself

That it hurt to see him that way

You revisit the days

When you were his

And he was your only one,

Back to the days when forever

Was just one kiss away

From an ‘I do’

So now you cry

Clutching your heart

In your undeserving hands

Guilt and regret, thick as the tears

Running down

Your grief-stricken face

Now, you apologise

Every sleepless night

To the floor

Praying to the ceiling

For another chance

To mend things

But that won’t happen

Because he’s already moving on

While the past is still strangling your mistakes,

Forcing you to face the hardship

That comes forth from a bad choice
