A Beautiful Disaster

Chips of the temple,
Broken dreams of broken hearts
That aren't sealed with the sign of love now,
It is everything love has left for us.
Love was never benign to me...

Like a vessel love broke into chips,
Wounding my heart, and you left me to bleed...
All I have is a mascot,
Bringing curse, it's that sacred chip,
Buried deep in my heart,
Being sorrow fixed in it...

Believing I will forget
Is just lying to myself.
Time would heal this wound if only
I could turn it back...
Love was never benign to me...

Love, you've forgotten me
After taking my sacrifice,
I incurred all your sufferings,
It was all of our love...
I'm tired of lying about you,
But that time I loved this lie...

Love is as far as you,
But its breath it’s near,
And echo of all the words I used to hear
Is somewhere in the air...
Never lie to yourself;
No one has taken my place...

Really REALLY love this poem....I could relate much to ~ "All I have is a mascot,
Bringing curse, it's that sacred chip,
Buried deep in my heart,
Being sorrow fixed in it..."


Those mascots, chips, all of that are so heavy...This was a lovely, and a poem of wonderful depth. Thanks for sharing this.

~Best Regards,Raven Smith

I enjoyed the flow to this poem a great deal.  Some of your words are really well versed in this.  Look forward to seeing more.
