Wreckage of You

You are a cold piece 
Work. 
  You left me on the edge, 
Going berserk. 

  You have no idea how much 
It hurt. 
  It was touch and go for what 
It's worth. 

  I have never loved another like 
You. 
  I have your name on my neck 
As a tattoo. 

  I handed you my bleeding 
Heart. 
  You loved it then tore it  
Apart. 

  When I looked in your eyes, 
I saw the hate. 
  It took my breath and sealed 
My fate. 

  You filled me with hope, 
I felt secure. 
  I took for granted you would 
Be here. 

  I believed I was what you  
Wanted. 
  The memories of us are all 
Haunted. 

  You broke my heart, 
Crushed my dreams. 
  You blew my mind to 
Smithereens.  

  You promised forever, 
Then gave up on us. 
  You looked me in the eye, 
Gave the knife a thrust. 

  I wish you could spend a minute 
In my shoes. 
  You could see the price paid 
For loving you.
