Your Cruel Rue

I feel like giving up…
I don’t know why, I just do…
I just do…I feel blue…
Wish my eyes were shut with the finest super glue…….
I am like two deserted lands…
No one seems to understand where I stand
I am but a broken cup…
In your quivering, shivering hands…
Things are truly getting out of hand…out of hand…
Lament and doubts dripping with morning dew…
I just feel so blue, so through with you,
Always hurting me with rue…
Who knew…who knew it was true…too true to be true!

You meant to hurt me with your cruel rue...
Yes, you did...

You hurt me to the deepest, narrowest core
You try your hardest and best to slam the door
So that I can feel your abandonment, It’s still with me…lingering inside me
You meant your rejection and desertion unfortunately, sadly, cruelly, and mean-spiritedly

You meant to hurt me with your cruel rue...
Yes, you did...

I felt your cruel, but true rue
Such true rue I felt 
When you left without a clue 
You made me melt…
Like an ice cube, left in the sun for far too long
You were gone for so long! 
Can’t really seem to belong…
I felt it so out of the blue…
Felt your cruel hatred and unnecessary dread, doing me wrong, yes, doing me wrong
And you knew all along…
That I am alone among…
Your crowd of remorseful happiness and fake contentment…
I am overcrowded by your twisted bliss and sick resentment…
It’s way too true to be true…

You meant to hurt me with your cruel rue...
Yes, you did...

You meant to hurt me with your cruel rue...
Yes, you did...

Getting rid of the madness and sadness and insanity
That once hid inside me...right in plain sight, you see?

Saying my goodbyes to the goodbyes you bid..

Susan Ashley Date: 9/1/2018 10:45:00 PM Such a soulful outpouring of battered emotions that moved me deeply, J.W. Your harrowed emotional imagery of lost love is powerfully expressed. Your bitter and seething introspection leads you to the personal victory of your triumphant last line. Awesome heartaching soul wrenching poetry. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Login to Reply J.W.

Emile Pinet Date: 9/1/2018 9:41:00 AM The deep pool of emotions poured forth almost drowns the reader in self contemplation, feeling the emotions so skillfully enlisted by the author. Loneliness and anger rips at the foundation of the author's existence and causes a migration inwards to the safety of his heart where he surrenders himself to his feelings. The pain of love lost burns within and consumes the soul. Emile. Login to Reply J.W. Earnings Date: 9/6/2018 12:12:00 AM You really described this amazingly. Wow. I'm speechless.
