The Fall

Chantell Wild

Rhymed
He placed her on a pedestal
And fed her milk and honey
Gently clipped her wings
And showered her with money

She was his wife, he was her life
Until the day she fell
It wasn’t long before she found
The waiting arms of Hell

One mistake yet no reprove
He merely walked away
As silently she shed her tears
And stared out in dismay

The distance between love and loss
Is no more than a sigh
Easy come hello
And easy come goodbye.

About this poem

When the words come, they flow like dance in my mind and if I don't catch the butterfly it is gone and I am left trying to remember the echo of its song. From time to time I manage to capture the words. These are precious moments that transcend the now and live on in time, released by oneself for others to relate to more…
