I could continue writing sad poetry
about the tragedy of losing you
but I can't live that way anymore
i can't live reliving what you said
taking out your anger on me
I didn't deserve it
I only wanted you to want me
but when you discovered you didn't
there was no love left for me, sweetheart
only hate and aggression remained for me
for your one and only, you were so sure
but it all came crashing down
like a house of cards built too high
and all your gleeming truth became a lie
in one deft motion you excised my heart
and handed it to me
while it remained pulsing
and now its beaten its last, still and lifeless
it doesn't seem to fit
inside my chest anymore
and nothing can warm
its icy cold musculature
Just a thing I have no more use for
You were my everything, and now...
Theres no love left for me here
and no way to feel it if there were
just sad words in random lines
just forlorn prayers uttered in the dark
God, I'm broken...
She's broken me like I've never been
torn in half and unable to heal
I can't go on this way,
but i presently lack the strength
to pull myself together...
