I’ve always been a wordy, communicative child. The art of expression is something I indulge in. To refine transitions and expose my pain.

Cover image for post When Love becomes the Enemy, by Butterflyshadow

When Love becomes the Enemy

When love becomes the enemy

A memory of him

He who walks away rather bluntly

Rather brashly when love becomes decay

Even if we fought in that drought with a smile on my face

Something that night turned and etched upon his face his eyes with anger enough to kill

My permanent thrill

He turns as I dredged through bitter cold and gloom a heartless man with no remorse

All for him

Undying affection devoted attention

Infused without words a glimpse in his eyes was enough to say

Our last goodbye without return removed from good and traded for evil my love stirred hate instead

And now I lie awake at night and ever asleep by day in motion I fall through dizzy haze

Addicted lover of invisible craze no matter the change I see him through the gaze of my own reflection whilst day and night my soul turns and tosses each direction without its cage it stands erased betrayal by this lover a Judas Priest a vicious beast my love intensely thunders my mind burnt with that grievous lease....the

Lease of love, as she fucks him now.

Challenge
Anger
Describe vividly how you feel the emotion 'Anger'. Does it spread like wildfire in your body or does it start with the slow increase of your heartbeat. Does it urge you to create chaos or do you push your demon down back into its cage. I'd like to read all responses :)
Butterflyshadow in Poetry & Free Verse

The Sweetest Thing

A crescent moon.

A fair shining face of desire.

Desire for innocence...

Playfulness the child of light.

A happy boy my happy love.

Stolen by vain glory.

Lovely William lovely boy.

I thought I couldn't hold you.

Wake up wiping all your tears away.

With a hushabye tune..

Of reassurance that I'm not going to leave.

Until I have to, but by the dawn

The window creaks and shutters.

As the winter winds breeze through;

Holding tight,

The endless nights.

My little boy blue...

Baby blue where are you?

William darling who?

My little boy blue...

Raging with the moon.

How sweet can anger be...

In fifteen words, what is love?
Butterflyshadow

Gone

You find love when it dies..

In the hands of your own. Dissolved without answer.

FR/END

When all my friends leave me

When all my friends leave

When all my friends

When all my

When all

When

.............they leave

They....

Me.

Fake or phony,

Sad and lonely.

Torn but waning.

Trust for trading.

Sympathy for lies.

Traded disguise.

My eyes washed out,

Blinded from doubt.

Unable to see.

Who is there, for them or me?

Betrayal of friends.

Betrayal of family.

Betrayal of life.

Betrayal of sanity.

Sobriety fades.

A cyclic decay.

This loss and dismay.

My final plunge....

Who’s out there next?

Who is my friend?

Who is a foe?

How can I know?

How can I see?

With eyes so blind.

Unable to spot.

A treacherous lie.

A lie from a friend.

A lie from an enemy.

Who is my bruise?

And who is my remedy?

Am I just dumb?

Or all this time a target?

What am I doing,

That deserves this calamity?

A cyclic calamity accused of vanity.

Accused of vanity from petty pitch,

Or deep buried jealousy.

No mind is crisped.

No mind is fried.

No mind beguiled,

As much as mine.

At such a young age.

Of such old ambition.

And the work won’t match the timeless tradition.

The weight of the standard my crumbling world.

Of loss...

Loss of a friend, or of what I keep thinking will be no end?

Where is stability?

The threat of my friends.

What irony.
