Lovers no more

[Debralynn]

Misstruths and fabricated feelings
Actions betraying words spoken
False sentiment and hollow truths
Promises made to be broken

Incomplete love bitter sweet
Betrayal tasting sour
Time lapses as does judgement
Reckoning upon the hour

Ill will and discontent
Never to be satisfied
Scornful bruises battered and torn
Joyous feelings ratified        

Time marches forward
Footsteps heavy in the dirt
Unrelenting and unforgiving
Not stopping if you're hurt      

Lessons in life
Twisted and cruel
Summer always breaks
For winters' renewal

One of the great things about poetry is the universal themes that many can identify with. Your poem has supplied that with love gone west. I am an older person, but I can relate to "betrayal gone sour." Also "scornful bruises battered and torn," resonates with me right now unfortunately. Congratulations on a poem that many will relate to, old and young.
