She said she wanted to be treated like a goddess-
So I praised her mind, her humor, her beauty.
Yet she wasn't happy.
I offered her my love, my time, gifts, and acceptance
But she was unimpressed by it.
Head bent I worshipped her body
And she wanted more.
I wished to give her everything-
I was so devoted to her.
I tried to write what she meant to me- explain how I'd be lost without her.
Still my words didn't seem to matter.
She wanted to be treated like a goddess.
She wanted sacrifice and pain.
So she ripped out my heart
And spat out my name.
