Betrayed

You lifted my hopes
and sent me soaring
flying higher than an eagle
I felt wanted and loved

Angels were jealous of me
I had your love
an angel in itself
bringing joy eternally

Nothing could bring me down
on a potent love high
only death could bring an end
to my love for you

An archer carefully sighting
staring dead at its prey
you took aim at the
precise center of my heart

The string tight,
half a breath in, and
with a sickening twack
I fall, my heart shattering

A bird with a broken wing
I try to peice my heart together
unfinished and completely impossible
I wander into an oblivion lost
