Experience the bitter pill
As we hide ourselves
The pain a lightning bolt to the soul
When first we stood bare

To show our real heart
Sundered by the careless word
Uttered in twisted cadence
Thoughless execution

Of the foolish jest
Cold action betrayal
A moments remorse
The choice in action

Conveyed without hesitation
An evil intent to damage
To harm
Hidden purpose laid bare

The death of a dream
An end of innocence
Without a tear
A love died

An Original Poem By H.R. Beebe
