Left For Dead

Not a tear have I shed
Since you left me in ruins.
I can't believe what happened!
Torn, broken, collapsed, unloved;
That's how you left me.
You're always confusing me 
So I don't know what's real and isn't.
In truth, tell me,
Do I deserve this torment?
This cruel, uncaring torture?
Nothing you can say
Will help me fix my broken heart.
A world without love is hard to imagine,
But a life without love is all to easy.
I'm lost, 
I'm too far gone to be saved,
I'm left for dead.

i was left for dead once. and i was dead for three years the first of which was the hardest. but after my prayer for god to remove the pain a little at a time. i came back to life. my poetry begged for such a thing to happen because i was nothing without it. jhl
