Midnight Darkness a series of poems By Nina LR

Love's Dark Night

In innocence, I once did tread,

With dreams of love within my head,

A naive heart, so full of light,

Unaware of love's dark night.

I thought I knew what love could be,

A fantasy, so pure and free,

But reality, with cruel hands,

Tore apart my tender plans.

In puppy love, I placed my trust,

But learned too soon, it turned to dust,

Each tender word, a fleeting lie,

Left me alone, with tears to cry.

My innocence was stolen fast,

A painful truth, from shadows cast,

The girl who danced in dreams so bright,

Was lost within the endless night.

I mourned her loss, my younger self,

Her hopes now placed upon a shelf,

In mourning clothes, I grieved her fate,

A funeral for love's cruel bait.

For in that time, I came to see,

The world held no such fantasy,

The love I sought was but a ruse,

A lesson learned in bitter hues.

The child within, so full of grace,

Was buried in a darkened place,

Her laughter gone, her joy erased,

In sorrow's grip, she was encased.

I held her hand in memory,

As tears flowed down in misery,

And said goodbye to who I'd been,

To dreams that never could have been.

With heavy heart, I faced the truth,

The loss of my untainted youth,

The girl who once believed in love,

Now watches from the stars above.

Innocence robbed, a heart betrayed,

In shadows deep, my spirit swayed,

I walk the path with lessons learned,

With scars that show how I was burned.

The fantasy I thought was real,

Replaced by wounds that never heal,

I bury her, my younger heart,

And face the world, a world apart.

For though the pain remains within,

I've learned to wear a thicker skin,

Yet still, at times, I close my eyes,

And mourn the dreams that had to die.
