A Heart of Stone
Like gold gilt on a pagan idol,
under the bling, lies a heart of stone.
For you abruptly abandoned me,
though you swore I'd never be alone.
My hopes and forever dreams died in
the periphery of your disdain.
And wounded by your lies and deceit;
I struggled amidst anguish and pain.
You had me believe that you loved me,
but that was merely part of your plan.
And, reneging on promises made,
you morphed into a shell of a man.
Love was reduced to mere memories
after passion's flame flickered out.
And depression devastated me
when I learned what you were all about.
