Forget

FORGET

Save yourself my soul,
Where the heart was, now an empty hole.
Bleeding endlessly every fortnight,
Depraved of love, leaving only a foreboding fright.
Sick as well to others eyes,
Taking in every single one of his lies.
Darkness cascades about,
With absolutely no way out.
Leave me, my poor soul,
As I lie here with everything he stole.
Insanity lingers through the door,
Whilst preparing for the final war.
Determination is the key,
Even that is left in a pile of debris.
Lack of strategy and skill,
In this game of hunt and kill,
Will most surely make you lose,
And do the only thing it can, confuse.
Good night my soul,
Never again will you be whole.
Do well to live on and do not cower,
From now on, you will use your own power.

this is beautiful just so wonderfully written, it's tragic that one has to hurt from anything espically love, however you have captured and portrayed it very well in this piece
