BORNWAPS

Breathed life into desolate core, 
A bond renewed, a kinship stronger than ever before. 
Together soared, like comets ablaze in the night's vast, 
Can this depth of love be grasped, so profound, so fast? 
In pacts and pinky promises, shared destiny.

"Nothing's too big," promises claimed, a voice so steadfast, 
One contorted, bent over backwards, for a love meant to last. 
Fingers worn to nubs, for the other, and paid the price, 
Dismantled, rearranged, untoward rival, a living sacrifice. 
For the other, leapt oceans, defied space, and time amassed.

Neglected self, placed own needs on a forgotten shelf, 
Set on the back burner, to simmer, alone, unfree. 
Strapped down by fears, cold sweats mingle with screams, 
Crying out, "Help me, please!" into the void, it seems. 
Reach out, touch, love, show, be the solace needed to be.

Instead stood face to face, a rift where once was confidence abound, 
"I trust you," one said, but actions shouted disloyalty loud. 
A fall from grace, from the arms of promise, no catch, 
Hitting the earth below, while bonds broke with a crack, so brash. 
Blindsided, heart aching, from kin to strangers, a transition allowed.

Only cowards calculate, their hearts devoid of feeling's sway, 
Upper-handed in deception, backhanded ways, trust betrayed. 
They go back on their word, as easily as night turns to day, 
The last to know, a pawn in the game played. 
An inferno of pain they made, leaving victims in cold ashes.

Britney & Kelly belt out anthems, becoming voice's embrace, 
No more excuses, no more delays, rise with grace. 
Standing tall now, stronger than ever knew, 
They underestimated a praying soul, steadfast and true. 
For the favor of awakening, I owe you a heartfelt "Thank you."
