The Art of Losing
Losing Trust — A poetry challenge.
When tagged by the poet Mustapha El Hajj for the poetry challenge “The Art of Losing”; I felt rather sad because it brought back a range of emotions when losing something so important. Here mine goes:
Losing Trust
Losing my trust was like death inside
A feeling I never wanted to abide
My heart beating faster, yet not alive
My soul screaming out, but I stand so still
My dreams shattered and my hopes all gone
The pain of betrayal, a debt I wouldn’t own
My emotions running wild, but I couldn’t cry
A broken heart beating with no lullaby
Your lies were the dagger that pierced my core
You had me believing what you said before
My faith in you had been misplaced
And our relationship began to waste
No more were the days of smiles and laughter
Our conversations are matter-of-fact chatter
The happiness that once filled the air
Replaced by pain, knowing trust is no longer there
