Opened Eyes

What can I do,
with no one left?
I trusted you,
you failed the test.

You told me I could open up,
lips that are sealed, never erupt.
I put my faith in our strong tie,
blindsided by all of your lies.

What should I do,
standing alone?
To split in two,
hurts to the bone.

I thought we shared a sacred bond,
that would outlast life and beyond.
You know me better than I do,
and just the same I know you too.

What will I do
all by myself?
Begin all new,
step off the shelf.

Know that my thoughts are safe and true,
appreciate how much I grew.
Moving along gathering clues,
navigate life, create new views.

  1. This is really an eye opener. I tried keeping my comments unique. The reason why i dont want to sound boring. Your work is very intriguing.

    Where does your inspiration come from? Its so unique and incredibly brilliant.

  2. The end of a relationship is so difficult to navigate. It’s hard to keep one’s head above water. I respect and admire those who have the courage and strength I lack to successfully move on from such soul-crushing events. This poem is beautiful, Grace. Thanks for blessing us with your poetry, as always. 🙂
