Poetry: The tragedy of love

by Karen Collins

Created on: May 13, 2008

LOVE BETRAYED



When love is taken and shredded
And the heart is left shattered
What is left to believe in
Can one survive the betrayal within?

To give ones love so wholeheartedly
Believing all is true and without complicity
To find that trust and love has been tainted
That leaves a heart in tatters

Tears of sadness and heartbreak
Spills from eyes of hurt and anger
Bewildered as the truth settles in
As life looks bleakly and misery seeps in.

So gullible and naive after all
Taken to be such a fool throughout it all
To love so deeply and left so unhappy
Will ever a heart heal from such a betrayal?

And the truth be told as in the end it always is
the bitter pill that seems your life it ENDS
is but a potion of tomorrows happiness
as you begin AGAIN
