Love Killed Her
a Poem by Raquel Swann
Through barriers of trust
Outstretched, She reached
through a beautiful veil
Her fingers trembled with emotion.
Her body followed, then her mind,
And of course her heart.
She floated through clouds,
Amidst lies, deceitful smiles,
She received empty words
As true as a mirror’s reflection.
Her soul had been claimed,
Her body an empty shell.
She returned from her journey,
Different. Her eyes blank,
Her lips bare, and of course without
Her heart.
Dead, walking amongst
The living.
Love Killed Her,
Long before age
Or sickness ever could.
