All the Hurtful Ones

'Twas once upon a midnight moon
When struck with terror and grief was I, 
He was disguised in lust and made me swoon;
I wanted to leave but I stayed through the nigh'.

Little sense did I have fore rapt in awe.
I searched for truth and continued to try
To gather facts to make sense of it all
So I couldn't see I was used for supply.

You see, this man fed on the passion and life
Inside of my little girl soul.
His words were lovely, then cut like a knife.
So I fell down the mountain after taking a stroll.

His lies felt like rain rusting my poor heart.
I was broken for many years after.
Now from that man, I am glad to be apart;
Relinquishing my life and my laughter.

Thanks so much. I actually wrote this about 4 guys who have been in my life. It's nice to knock them all out with this one poem. :P
