Entangled

Missing image

Entangled by flowery words,
she becomes numb ~
unable to sense
that poison is released
in every beautiful affirmation.

Losing herself

in love's profession,
she fails to see bonds of trust
have turned to ash,
remnants lying broken.

After she's but a hollow husk,
you discard her;
leaving a wounded woman

with nary a thought.

Brushing off ashes,

you seek another soul to entice.

    This poem blew me away. you hit the nail on the head with this one. the imagery is powerful & vivid, and strong. the last two lines hit hard as did the rest of your poem. the emotional pain I felt as i read this piece. you did a fantastic take on this prompt.

    Congratulations my guardian angel for such a powerful write.

    Truely an inspired write... I love the detail and back story you've penned... I did have to smile at "love's profession" which I'm assuming you didn't mean as the oldest trade Once I wiped the grin off, I appreciated the beauty you created. Well done.
