Lies

A Sonnet by Rhoda Maribojoc
Grade 9 - Mercy

Love is like a game: you win or you lose.
Follow the lies and you will seek the truth.
Like a soft toy that was brutally used
Where people enter you like a big booth.
Love is like an addictive kind of game.
It can make you happy, yet can cause you ache.
Like a star, you are wanting for more fame
Waiting for the time that your heart will break.
You broke my heart like it was not fragile.
The scars and bruises you gave made me strong.
I thought we’d see each other on the aisle.
But I was mistakenly very wrong.
Now I realize all you said were lies.
All I see in you are dead butterflies.
