Omens

Her words were such smothering shadows upon my heart,
but I thought our love’s sun would never stop burning,
even when the darkness grew with distance bringing constant night
I took it as a sign she meant to test my trust,
and when I sensed they were a warning of disaster,
my mind just pretended they weren’t true.

How I ached when those omens brought upheaval inside,
became fulfilled prophesies of our relationship’s demise,
sometimes doomsday hints are not the imagination,
learning that their reality can be a wound that never heals.
