Crushed

You have taken all that's left of me And placed me on dark shelf I gave you every ounce so free You bled me dry and then I wept. Why must you wrap my soul in knots and unwind me when you get the notion? The pain inside it simply rots I realize there was no real devotion I toss and turn upon my bed at night my pillow has a covering of tears You watched me twist in the wind with sheer delight My heart has stopped from self inflicted fear I must ask you now just why and how you knew I gave my most emblazoned passion Does the mirror show you truth of my breakdown? Like a raging river my lonely tears are crashing. Memories they race into my mind haunting echos of time that was I laid upon our bed close by your side how can you disgrace the two of us? I feel my heart has been the punch line and jokes are played with me as the expense You told the world our deepest loving times on top of that you said it with pretense so now my love I fear this is the end It's sad to see our love crushed like a rose I guess those things you said were all pretend and like they say I guess that's how it goes My petals they have fallen to the ground Your princess lost her crown along the way, Like a thief you stole without a sound I would have loved you 'til your dying day.

This is the first piece of you I have ever read. I am highly impressed.your words they had me captured. But the bad part is they rang of truth. That's how poets get thrir greatest work: through pain. My highest compliments and I don't give that out often.
