The Written Word The Pedestal by Jaimie D. Travis

The Pedestal  (1998)
You view her upon her pedestal
You marvel at her brilliance
And revel in her beauty
The honor to behold
Such an illuminating creature
As she radiates her light down upon you
Blinding you to that which she truly stands upon...
With every hurtful word
Hateful look
Broken promise
Agonizing betrayal
She raises her pedestal upon your dying soul
As you smile...   and call it love!
