Unloaded Heartbreak Poem by April Humason

You handed me the loaded gun,
To shoot me down, one by one.
But now, with a bang, it's all done,
The fun is gone, I have to run.

In this love affair, I once believed,
But your deceit, I was deceived.
With each sweet word, you had me weaved,
Into a web of lies, I was naïvely sieved.

Your smile, a mask for betrayal's art,
And I, the fool, played my part.
In full-blown heat, you broke my heart,
A love so wrong, right from the start.

Trick or treat, your games are played,
A masquerade of love portrayed.
But the truth revealed, a charade,
In this deceitful game, you've betrayed.

The gun is loaded, but you won't reload,
No more unloading me, the story's told.
Heartbreak uncrowded my once-shared bed,
Your explosive act shattered love widespread.

Now I walk away, a heart untied,
From the snare of love, where I once relied.
Healing wounds, time is on my side,
A new path to find, love's hope won't hide.

Though you loaded my gun, I'll mend,
For my heart's journey, I'll transcend.
With newfound strength, I'll ascend,
To a love that's true, my soul will blend.
