Play On Words

You stake a claim to a broken heart..
But, in this script, YOU have played that part.
 
The illusion of reality is what you're willing to pay.
Consumed with another, has lead your heart astray.
 
Your vile of poison, has quelled my love and my trust..
All because, you continue to walk down this path of lust.
 
What did you conclude, upon writing this story twice?
That I would continue playing this game~YOU called life?
 
This is how I communicate, what my heart really feels..
As you trample on my sensitivity, as it is being revealed.
 
And you wonder why I always felt hurt and took offense?
Because you mocked my words and laughed at my expense.
 
Putting yourself on a pedestal, stating no one can handle you.
Is that something worth bragging? After what you put ME through?

Nicely done Erin. I feel your pain, loss and anger. Terrific rhyme and meter with a powerful story to boot. Joe
