In an upside-down garden

He was the mushroom
and she was the queen
she was the good one
or so she thought
but when she looked in the mirror
she saw a monster.

Worship her
he spoiled her and she
cannot help but indulge herself

If the answer to every question
is yes, then what?

where do you go from there?

She gave away her love
to easily, for free
and asked nothing in return
but her expectations
those stupid expectations

why did she think he would love her,
really, truly in return?

she found the world in
another's eyes
and she can't help but wonder
if she's too broken
to try again.

Allysa, I thought the same thing...until my wonderful
Honey-Love came along. Hope she finds hers soon.

This poem has bite and really gets its point across. I especially like the ending. By the way, there is always hope to be loved. We just need to sometimes break down our walls and find who we are. By respecting ourselves, that is the first step.

You balanced the intimacy very subtly.

If fits together nicely.

My walls are made of something more than steel.  I do not think they could be broken.

Thank you, very much everyone.

I liked this. Great emotion and a good question at the end, I hope she is not to broken for no one deserves to live without love. Nicely done.

Because of you I laugh a little harder, smile a little more, and cry a little less
