Forgiveness comes at a cost <br />An ocean of tear filled days <br />Entwined in the banners of once love <br />Fighting battles of our tired ways; <br />Stars of truth are left to remember <br />As footprints of yet another time <br />Reflecting the bleeding Rose of broken love <br />And the theater where you were once mine; <br />Unfolding now- all of the years <br />Swollen in lost loves bitter refrain <br />Anguish knows no other words <br />As sorrow remembers only the pain; <br /> <br /> <br />By: Theodora Onken <br />April 7,2012<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-459/
