The sky has fallen upon my heart
Crushed it to the earth
The pain has never settled down
Lost of my own self-worth
Like a dagger formed of steel
With double cutting blades
My heart was cut in two that night
The one you went astray
You promised me forever
And broke that trusting bond
Now, I so often wish
From his world I could be gone
No more kisses from your lips
No flowers to make me bright
Nor subtle touches anymore
Just to exist, I must fight
You've layed me on a bed of thorns
On which my heart does bleed
It trickles down into the web
To feed the demon seed
Now swallowed deep within my darkness
I know there's no escape
For my soul has been torn and shattered
And my heart, it has been raped

Author notes
They say it is better to have lost in love, then to never have loved at all...but once you live this as a very real part of your life, I am not so sure that saying has any merit.
I guess this would fall under option 2, with my emotions.

This is very beautiful and very sad and can I say I know that feeling. Its the worst feeling I have ever felt in my life. I know what you mean when once you live it, it seems better not to have loved at all and I think I almost agree. You did a beautiful job expressing your emotions. I could feel the pain of a heart break all over again.

Very nicely done, my friend! I felt every line of this piece! The best of luck in the contest!

This is written very well and rolls off the tongue as you read. The story although is sad is well told and easy to associate with. I have felt the pain of loss and it hurts, but love finds you again if you let it and takes the pain away. Good luck in the contest, but more in life. The Shaker

This is really powerful i dont know what to say. Just to keep up the good work

AW! I must admit, I really like this one. That last line really got to me. Probably because I'm a rape surviver. But best of luck in my contest.
P.S. I believe you put this under the right option. LOL!
