The Perfect Storm

It is dark, cold and lonely,
 Here where I live.
   The damage is massive,
 I can't seem to forgive.

   The dirty deed,
 Done unto me.
   None so blind as those,
 Who cannot see?

   I was not aware you were,
 A wrecking ball.
   When I figured it out?
 My flesh began to crawl.

   You did things you swore,
 You would never do,
   You left me alone,
 Every cell in my body cries out for you.

   I cannot seem to recall,
 When it took a turn for the worse.
   I once believed you were a blessing,
 Really, you’re a curse.

   When you try to make someone look bad,
 You can never look good.
   The love you were presenting,
 I miss understood.

   You hold you head high, like you're in the right,
 I have a different point of view.
   For real, Medusa,
 hasn't got nothing on you.

   You had me convinced we were,
 On the same page.
   My love for you turned into,
 A bitter tasting rage.

   When you left you took,
 All that was warm.
   Careful, I have been brewing,
 The Perfect Storm.
