Tainted By Love
Damaged my heart drips; the
floor black from blood stains
Splintered from your beating;
crippled from the pain
Quiet I beg it become;
through tears I pray it be still
For my heart you asked and it
I gave freely; whole and distilled
It was not supposed to be abused,
stepped on, and forgotten
Now you see me filled only with
malice and ask “what happened?”
For a good woman you asked;
a goddess you did receive
Not giving thought to the repercussions
when this one you deceived
In this moment I am mourning for
the heart that you've destroyed
But it will pass; and you will wish
for a heart where you’ve left a void
