Until Now

Her heart was whole and pure,

Filled with love that would endure,

Until the day she found out

That her lover had been devout

To another, behind her back,

And her heart shattered in an attack

She thought their love was true,

But now she feels so blue,

Betrayed by the one she adored,

Her heart and soul now floored.

The pain she feels is hard to bear,

As she wonders how he could dare.

The tears fall like a summer rain,

And all she feels is a constant pain

, A broken heart that won’t repair,

As she wonders why he didn’t care.

She tries to keep her spirits high,

But the hurt just won’t subside.

She must find a way to heal,

To mend her heart and learn to feel,

To trust again and love once more,

And let go of what was before.

For someday, a love will come anew,

And her heart will feel brand new.
