You Sold Out

a poem by thenorm

My quickening thoughts

Of Forever

Flashed by my empty soul.

Your words betray you.

I say I did not believe

But really I did.

Your smile

Flashed upon the sky

And I could not see

For your words

Eclipsed my eyes.

The satin sheets flooded

With the overwhelming

Desire

Of Crimson Tears.

The sun goes down

And not a word

Is Said.

The Moon

Echoes

My despair.

Too late

Did I realize

That I gave to you

My gift,

And You,

You sold out.
