Betrayal
I remember feeling sunshine
washing up against the fabric of my soul.
It filled the cracks and crevices.
Dripped dramatically, filling holes.
I remember feeling loved
as you sought me out like tide to innocent shore.
It was an upside-down attraction. Riddled with bony shells
that revealed the carnage - your shadowy core.
I remember feeling lost
like the sun, as night devoured day.
I gave all of that trusting tint as you mixed it, maliciously
into memories that fade and rust, turn to dust - flitter away.
I remember feeling empty
as you lay it down before me, dead and still.
My heart that once beat loudly, now hides
like an injured animal, evading the the final blow - the kill.
