The Breaking

When we were together,
We were as one as two could be.
Happiness to sorrow was foretold.
Warm kiss became a cold mist;
Turning cheek for my lips to hold.

Many shared our room at night
Vows broken till morning light.
Stranger with the face I know,
Arms reach to hold on;
Broken hearts letting go.

I shudder at the thought of her.
Loving eyes as she deceives.
So close to me;
So well known too.
Only the fool believes.

If I should see her once again;
What message to convey?
Words my lips cannot utter;
For my eyes speak of
shame that day.
