Billowing and suffocating, <br />there it was- so many <br />treading and tearing it apart. <br />The black hole. <br />A pang of lonliness, hit <br />again and again like a stone <br />on sand. <br />I'm alone. <br />Don't you see? <br />Amid the black cloud of darkness. <br /> <br />Stop <br /> <br />One little glimmer you were, an ember. <br />A smile, spread wide into your eyes. <br />I would not be alone again, <br />I dared myself to hope, <br />Your smile spread wide into my heart. <br />Contagious, and full of affection. <br />I was yours and you were mine <br />each our own precious stone. <br />Was it love? <br />I let myself hope.... no <br /> <br />Like an untrustworthy friend, <br />you made me the same stone again, <br />discarded and cast asunder, <br />left for the blackness to feed on me, <br />again. <br />As you proudly reveal to the world <br />your shiny new stone.<br /><br />Jade Murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trade-in-stones/
