Sonnet scrawled on loose leaf in her slumberin arms
Her reply half done from pages torn
From Guarded thoughts her pen had chased til dawn
Through white wine spills & ink blots, tears her letters formed

Now those poems gather dust
Her heart is hard from broken trust

She’ll now never feel 
safe again to know that love can mend
She pursued with a heart unarmed
Like a cruel ruse you hunted her downfall

Unguarded unfurled winds of sorrow moan
She’s all cried out and She can’t feel no more.
The two became one flesh inseparable
Melded minds and hearts of welded soul.
What seemed eternal corrodes in rust
The heart is pierced; the dagger thrust. 

And death won’t erase discarded love
Our broken vows are not mere bygones
Like crumpled discarded poems in a drawer
With lockets torn off and wedding bands pulled
