Powerless

She fell in love with him
or so she thought
She didnt realize that she fell in love with a sickness consumed in a mans body
Pleasure intertwined with depths of pain that broke her
He played her emotions as a form of entertainment
Seeing how much he could take her love for granted
How far he could keep his puppet on a string
She loved him so hard it built him into a god
Feeding his empty soul with worship while draining hers
She was the ground he walked on
Making sure to dig his heels in with every step
She was a daisy he so easily plucked away at
Leaving her lifeless with no more love to give
Empty, she walked away 
Without her he was nothing
Powerless
