Tears

When I met you
I fell in love
You said you loved me
And with a knife
Like you carve names 
into trees
You carved your name
deep into my heart
Then you hurt me
My eyes filled 
with tears
Or was it blood
From my battered soul

Strong emotional write... Your soul can't be battered otherwise you wouldn't be able to write with such heart... my two cents.... Michael
