A love so strong it seemed unstoppable.

Every moment with you was truly phenomenal.

Perfect in every way like beautiful angel.

Who would’ve guessed you would be so baneful.



You filled me with feelings of love and joy.

Because I never knew I was just your little toy.

You made me feel so complete and validated.

When all along I was being manipulated.



Your level of beauty was truly transcendent.

It rivaled that of a heavenly descendant.

Your skin glowed like sheets of gold.

Perfect to distract me as you shaped me to your mold.



Discussed our dreams of a house with a view.

But deep down I knew something was askew.

When you told me how much you loved me.

I knew your heart had more than one key.



With your knife in my back and my heart in two.

I act surprised but I always knew.

I just never wanted it to be true.

The devil was once an angel too.

Why me?
Charles Peck Mar 2020
I thought I had finally found the one.
That the rest of my life had finally begun.
A girl so amazing that each day I questioned,
Why me?

She sat in my car and it was love at first sight.
I knew I would always remember that night.
Because deep down I knew inside,
I wanted to make her my bride.

She was the light at the end of my tunnel.  
My angel to help me when I was in trouble.
Always showing me how much she cares,
She was truly the answer to my prayers.

Though sometimes we would argue with spite.
Thoughts of a future with her seemed so bright.
Little did I know I would soon be seeing white
Like getting knocked out during a fight.

She was my one and only.
But I was her one of many.
Never have I felt so lonely.
Tossed aside like a worthless penny.

Although our love has perished,
My memories of her will always be cherished.
But my hopes of a happily ever after,
Now just dangle from the rafters.

There are things I with I could rewrite.
But there are things you just can't reignite.
Now I sit and cry with one question.
Why me?
