Why did you come to my life with your sugar-coated words,
The butterflies you gave me turned to bitter pain.
The roses you gave me bleed my heart with their thorns,
And the laughter we shared now mocks me, a cruel refrain.
You left me with pain, heartbreak, and trust issues galore,
Now I’m the villain in the tale we once adored
The hands I longed to hold are now held by another's hand,
And I'm left to pick up the pieces of a shattered plan.
You came to my life as a spring and left me as a desert,
And I'm rotting with your betrayal.
Why did you come to my life with fake love?
Your lies coiled around my neck, slowly choking the life from me
You made me love you, then vanished — as if you were never born
You buried the kind version of me with your lies,
Here I stand, reborn from the ashes of betrayal.
And yet, you come seeking forgiveness?
Why return to the hell you created?
Let me spread my wings and fly away from you and your lies,
Let me fly — toward peace, away from the storm you left behind.

This depicts heart ache and betrayel nicely. The imagery is fantastic and i like the rhyme scheme throughout. Great job.
Thank you so much😊
Feelings of betrayal, rejection and loss turned to anger and regret. A need for freedom from the hurt. Nicely worded
thank you😊
Most welcome
"Let me fly away from you "
I wouldn't be asking permission
A really painful write
I can't help think it's true as these feelings come from one who knows
"Reborn from the ashes "
Shows your strength and resolve
Keep em coming
Great writing
Thank you so much. It means a lot that you felt the truth in those lines—they come from lived moments. I'm really grateful for your kind encouragement.
A nicely expressed write of rejection, hurt, loss and the pain it caused now turning to anger and regret, wanting to be left alone to be free from the pain, a wonderful write
Thank you. That poem came from a deep place, so I’m glad it spoke to you.
