"Word Poetry Challenge #3 : Bleeding Love"

The nightingale sings only of our love
Tales of two that was never one
Stars tell the story to the night travellers
Sun witnessing in broad daylight to mankind
Moon recoils with a sigh, back into the dark sky
Oh yea! Day and Night mourns our love.
A dagger to my chest with smiles and a million kisses
As my world scrambles and fell to pieces
You used to be an Angel with tender heart
A beauty with dazzling stars
But your true self was hidden under that regalia
To mask away your disloyalty and betrayals
Our love was through thick and thin
With everyday casualties while it bleeds
It was love at first sight when I met you
My heart belongs to only you
Never knew yours belong to another
Even made a fool of me at the alter.
You gave me bitterness to feed on
Made it so I had no other to lean on
I used to think you're my missing rib
But I guess I was mistaken
Cos' if you are, you won't have betrayed me
Now I realise, you're no beauty inside but a beast.
My heart, my love bleeds non stop
When I remember all this, tears drop
I have been romanced with thistle and thorns
Even heaven wails and mourns
For the innocent little me that was caught in a web of love
