To ambush your heart
was not my original intent
even though this relationship
started out exciting
beautiful
intriguing
and heavensent
Fatigue
has left us dizzy
The peaceful paradise
we both existed in
has crumbled
Our love lies lifeless
beneath the bane
of words
spoken
shouted out
not thought out
hurtful
too wantonly bold
leaving too many scars
a slight bitter taste
promises
gone to waste
Jasmine
mixed with tainted oils
The strain of the tension
has made a frown
upon your lovely face
Both of us
victims of spoils
plants sown
in hardened soils
Places we could no longer fix
Wounds exacted by harsh words
maybe too deep to mend
It hurts my heart, too
losing you
after choosing you
Nothing that I do from now on
will be without thoughts
of doing them
with you
my sweet and loving friend
