A Heart of Stone
Like gold gilt on a pagan idol,
under the bling lies a heart of stone.
For; you abruptly abandoned me,
yet you swore I'd never be alone.
All of my hopes and dreams died, within
the periphery of your disdain.
And wounded by your lies and deceit,
I struggled to justify my pain.
You had me believe in our future,
but that was merely part of your plan.
For reneging on promises made,
you morphed into a shell of a man.
As love was reduced to memories
time saw passion's flame flicker out.
And depression devastated me
when I learned what you were all about.
