Perfectly Broken

I seek no remorse the damage has set in
the ache is in my heart as the argument continues
        Why does it hurt so much?
one person can have so much intensive control
high on the power of destroying a person so worthy
        Does it help you sleep at night?
one sided conversations competing with hate
deep breaths as my chest begins to cave
        Does any of this phase you?
my lips are trembling please one more taste
eyes are closed and my body is patiently waiting
        When will you decide this is enough?
a tear slowly falls down my pale freckled skin
with no response as my lips still wait
        Are you having fun yet?
my whole existence is crumbling piece by piece
this is your creation and you are the one to blame
   I am broken. I am lost. 
          Was this always your plan?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
