Loveless

I made you hate love 
Were the last words you spoke 
But your actions caused 
Me to hate more than a burning feeling
We so easily define as love 
I hated my body 
For the marks you left there
Still feel permanent 
Like a tattoo pen on my tainted skin
You thought of me just as a canvas 
To paint your feelings, red, bleeding
Passionate
My body still feels unease 
The scars
As deep as when you cut them
I bleed on others now only
The blood pours on their skin 
But they can't see it
As I can
You made me hate everything
Your heart bleeds as my skin does 
Unshallow wounds
