Poisoned Wish
By Nomar Knight
Be careful what you
wish for
When you open your
heart
Vulnerability opens
a door
Forever tearing us
apart
We envisioned two
lovers
Dancing in the night
Swaying under covers
Allowing love to
take flight
But when fate
delivered
What we hoped to be
sweet
Reality made us
shiver
Delight no longer
neat
Trapped in cruelty's
passion
Desire threw caution
away
Not even
infidelity's fashion
Could make you stay
We had much to lose
You chose not to
break a dish
I'm left singing the
blues
All from our
poisoned wish
