death of love

i believed in love that reached beyond this life into eternity and accepted the feeling as the energy of eternal infinity you can call it what you like but it was everything to me so real it cut my heart out when it stopped leaving only misery i don't know how she held her breath so long i hid in a closet to avoid reality a crumbling person pretending to be strong life became a pretentious fantasy and over the years the hole was never filled even as it became ancient history scores of poets lamented and noblemen killed reaching for a glimpse of the mystery they called it glory same old story sudden whispery the mind of god and everything in love's simplicity I believed in love that could never end and then i learned how people can pretend and then i learned how not to trust a friend and then i learned how low people descend to destroy the purity of all they "amen"ed right up to the betrayal of a best friend
