Broken Heart

For the Poetic Traditions Poetry Contest.

I blindly fell in love with you.
I adhered to you like a glue.
I did not know about my fate,
That your love would later abate.

I was unaware of the mask
Of love that you showed; I did bask
In your outer,innocent love
That cooed peacefully like a dove.

The veil of your love you lifted,
To somewhere else your heart drifted.
Ruined by your total deception,
I now pray for my salvation.
