Broken

Barely holding on
Stretched to the max
Bruised 
Battered
Beaten into believing
Broken
I’m not worth having.
All I did was love you 
Thought we were one 
Brought into union of destiny 
Forever bond we never knew should be
How mistaken was I,
Poor little me.
Prodded
Pricked
Pushed away 
My bleeding heart 
Pouring 
Waterfalls aching with sadness
From a loss I never had.
Tear soaked pillows
Endless nights crying
Sleepless
Longing 
For the love 
I thought I always deserved. 
Loneliness echoes 
Exhausted attempts
Choice not to understand 
Nauseating 
Never-ending 
Narcissism 
Notwithstanding a show you put on.
Basking in your glow 
Aura of selfishness.
Keep away I say
Keep me strong I pray. 
True love on the way…….
