Broken Lad

The young lad enjoys no affection, Zero attention, nothing but total neglection His mind often travels back in time to the moment he asked her out after a heartfelt confession, Considering the state of things, he often wishes it'd just been met with rejection The young lad once thought love to be perfection, Now however, he sees love as his greatest affliction Alone in a room with her, nothing but air sucking tension; Often leaves the young lad in desperate need of some ventilation Always killing the young lad, she claims it is anything but her intention But, it's been nothing but a multitude of lies and endless deception He has never loved with such passion, Now the young lad's heart is out of commission That's a broken lad with a shattered heart The love was never mutual from the start He once believed it was, but it turned out to be nothing more than an illusion When the scales finally fell from his eyes, what he now saw was a world shattering realisation It threw him into a pool of confusion, He was unable to make a single decision, Everything was beyond his comprehension Floods of tears, screams, all forms of expression, For emotionally lethal amounts of pain, anger, hurt and frustration He saw the signs, knew the interpretation But the young lad was too stubborn, and chose to cling on to his delusion 'You aren't all that, be grateful'; that there is a violation Toxic queen calls all the shots, no negotiation Whatever she says stands, no question She puts him in more than one tough position Makes an accusation Jumps to a conclusion This isn't love, this is oppression But it seems like he doesn't have an option The young lad always proceeds with caution The girl with whom he'd visualized a family The girl that he showed off to the other lads as his wifey Same girl has the young lad loosing his grip on his sanity Same girl has the young lad feeling like nothing but a shell of himself; completely empty Same girl has the young lad making love an enemy Same girl has the young lad feeling so lonely Always has the young lad thinking he isn't enough, unworthy
