Cutting, callous, cold
Cruelly, so cruelly you stand there laughing at me
You tell me I’m useless
Your words cut through me like a blade

my fragile heart
Again and again you repeat those vitriolic words
Cutting my very being into a m i l l i o n p i e c e s
My tears drip like vermilion blood
oozing from the gaping void that once occupied my chest
I stand before you
Stripped of my dignity
Helpless, bruised and battered
I cannot believe what was once love has turned to hate
Poet's notes
I had seldom written anything other than rhyme so this was a real deviation to venture into the dark side of my muse with a creative free verse.
