Like All the Rest

Devastated by your lies
I’m left reeling from their sting.
And so, numbed by betrayal
I can’t feel another thing.

You swore you’d never hurt me
but you're just like all the rest.
And it feels like you reached in
and tore my heart from my chest.

I made a wish on a star
so that I might yet awake.
And escape this nightmare dream
for it's more than I can take.

Sadness saturates my soul
quietly smothering me.
And entombed within a tear
all thoughts of love cease to be.

BEEN THERE TOO MANY TIMES AS A YOUNG MAN.. And a ripped out heart takes a powerful lot of healing to ever go back in and function well. Had mine ripped out 6 times decades ago. Great poem--super 7 from me..
