Broken Ivy

I reached out to grasp his hand

he pulled away from me almost like I burned him

his response was cold that it froze my bones

a chill went up my spine as he got close

his gaze was unwavering as he caressed my face

warmth spread throughout his fingertips

"My undying love for you isn't enough to waver their choice, leave and never return."

an objection wasn't allowed as he stood and left my heart on the ground

I felt like our paths were never there to begin with

chasing after him won't change anything

with a heavy feeling in my gut, I left the plaza

love for this holy man was gone

just like a blanket lifted from my body

disregard my judgment for not fighting for my love

many obstacles stood in front of me

imprecation left my mouth as I felt something touch my foot

looking down it was a petite ring

gold banding gleaming clashing with the marble floors

his love was supposed to be undying

but just like this ring, it was small and fragile

bound to break with the slightest pressure

has our love ever been there?

I wish.
