Tragic Love Invites Misery (Acrostic)

by La Reina De Corazones   Jan 9, 2015


There was once a maiden who's
ruined life became a cautionary tale,
Ah how she was stunning
gentlemen lined up to propose to her but
instead of a happily ever after she,
cried into her pillow deep at night

Love's sick and twisted touch
overcame her gentle heart
Vainly she prayed for her knight
ever knowing he was with God

In years that followed she braved horrors
Vicious wounds marred her skin and soul
intentionally done to her by her husband
To say that she was resilient
extremely underestimated her pain
Sadly that was her everyday life

Many couldn't believe how
insane her life had turned out
Seeds placed in
earlier time had finally flourished,
revealing withered happiness
Yet as she died she saw her knight awaiting her.

*Made it over Christmas break and I thought of the phrase "Tragic love invites misery" as I have emotional family that has dated and they have had misery over their past partners.

    I enjoyed reading this, though not what inspired it. =/ even though it's personal, it's still a relatable topic. Just a friendly suggestion, though- punctuation wouldn't hurt =P

    Moria,
    How nice to see you writing acrostic, the narration of this sad story incorporated elegantly with the format and the title of course.

    ~instead of a happily ever after she,
    >instead of a happily ever after, she

    Nicely done my dear.

    This has a lot of emotion within it and I like it for that reason. It seems this person was married before and lost her husband. She cries into her pillow at night, instead of having a happily ever after, which she thought was going to happen. she just wanted her love back and love has touched her heart but she doesn't want it to be there anymore because she knows that her love is no longer physically with her. he is in the heavens above waiting to be reunited. Now she has remarried and even she didn't know her own sadness and becomes more lost inside her heart everyday. She was pretending to be happy for the people in her life but with that she couldn't hold on for much longer and died but on the end that is what she wanted because the love of her life was waiting for her. I like this poem for its simple message but it has strong emotion with it. 5/5
