Blog Challenge: Chain Poem

Ok, this is our new Blog challenge- we are creating a chain poem.
See the original post by Mr. Torongo

This is the poem as it's going so far:

(And the Challenge Continues.............)

Betrayed,
dark clouds scream across the sky,
blotting out the sun in my soul. (Mr. Torongo)

Et tu, Brute?
I cannot believe one so dear
could turn
and drive the fatal spear home.
If love had wages
surely pain could not be it? (Phoenix)

Still, paid in full am I.
Unsure who to curse...
You...
for you wrenched my heart out and wrung it like a wet cloth
or Love
for she sent me the wrong way on a one way street. (Mr. Torongo)

Though I see collision
I cannot turn.
My heart will not take heed.
Like old black and white stills
scenes flash in warning
as I race toward my prize. (Phoenix)

Emotions in full motion
the vehicle gains momentum.
The saving hour is passed
my destiny is sealed.
If only this cup could pass me by...
Nevertheless- this was my will (Mr. Torongo)
and my will be done.
Or so it always has.

Is there no end to this... myself?
The thing I love and loathe
and know and don't.
I saw you as saviour when I couldn't be
and hoped you could atone for my sin.
I placed you on the pedestal you fell from
and so I fell with you. (Phoenix)

Entangled in your deception
Trapped in my imperfection.
A once promising sky fills with grey
...Hope sinks eternal. (Mr. Torongo)

As the first drops pelt the earth
I pause and look
toward the heaven
where once I saw despair.
I now find hope.
Can it be that at the end of my grace
I find a new Grace?
A Mercy that is new every day? (Phoenix)

I have heard about this before
yet somehow I never believed
how when all else fails
and darkness consumes all I see
there is still a light that echoes through eternity.
It vibrates in my soul, brings tears to my eyes.

I have heard about it before
yet somehow I never conceived
that Light was betrayed and darkness reigned
for this cause:
Only so the Light could reign and darkness never again.
My eyes have opened-
I see beauty that makes this heart adore -
I see hope of a life spent in Light. (Mr. Torongo)

Once betrayed,
Dark clouds scream across the sky
that Light is risen.
The Debt is paid.
And the new Son rises in my soul. (Phoenix)

On Mr. Torongo's suggestion I am including the photo inspired by the lines:
Unsure who to curse...
You...
for you wrenched my heart out and wrung it like a wet cloth
or Love
for she sent me the wrong way on a one way street.
