You Were All

I loved you once. A love so fervent you were all I wanted. You were all I could think about. I gave myself to you and believed in you. I defended you, begged for you, and lied just to have you. I could not be without you and  when I was, I let the . know. You asked for my soul, but are incapable of reciprocation. I prayed to never see you again, yet believed your lie and  welcomed your return. I embraced you into these broken arms. I've given you all I had; my pride, my home, my faith, my God. You are all I NEVER needed... Hate, destruction, and evil are you. So selfish you begin and end with me and mine. You are MEthamphetaMINE.
