Dec 2011
Like a colossal building giving way
Bending breaking as from side to side it starts to sway
Shards of glass raining down
As an unrelenting  storm pounds the ground
A king deposed of his crown
Your words make this unbearable sound  

I stand unable to breathe  
as the words you uttered have broken me  
I stumble unable to bear the burden
I fall slowly to my knees
The world fades to an icy black  

The numbness seems to spread from my being
The light seems to dim from my eyes
I simply look without seeing
As my beliefs are have now turned to lies

Color fades from this earth
Sensation ceases on this land  
Gone from my spirit has the mirth
You have caused a deviation from the plan

How begs the question, why demands  the plea  
Wasn’t I the one you said I was supposed to be
A pain like none I have ever felt
The core of my being you begins melt  
Weakness takes over me
I hate the way you get see my vulnerability  
I hate the way you will now know
My hearts ebb and flow
I hate the way I let you see
The deepest part of me

For with less words than it took to take a breath
You have sentenced my heart to a painful death
With but a simple caress
You have cast my mind to unyielding duress
And the part that really gets to me
In my heart it is you I will always see
It was interesting, was watching Closer I think and it got to that part of betrayal.  Suddely got the itch to write and this was the product... Experimenting with imagery melding visual with the feeling. Rhyme vs no rhyme ab verses aa bb.
