I am injured, wounded deep within
I cannot see, my eyes have been blinded
I'm pretending there's such a thing as life
Existing because others expect me to be there
I love easily, I forgive your mistakes
I sit here and let you throw rocks at me
Each rock is an emotion of distrust and hurt
Each emotion eats at my aura
My aura becomes weakened and dark
As it does so my defences are broken
Every illness in the world could get me
My skin is broken and my mind is weary
My Lord that knife is tempting
I could end it in one stroke, it would all be over
But for a little smile from a sweet face
I came back to you injured and broken
I loved you and needed to be fixed
And you said you loved me and everything was good
We were happy and I was healing
I could see good things in the world again
Everything wasn't so black and miserable
And then out of the blue and unexpected
A huge rock of hurt and hellfire
Broke me some more... I'm practically shattered
And the worst thing about it is
I know you couldn't care less
My tears are worth nothing and my emotions less
And everything I say or do is wrong
I never wanted to see you cry
And I still don't
But instead of being loved and cared for
You leave... and I break like glass

such sorrow here - filling the screen like smoke. love is cruel at the best of times i think, here it saturates with pain. an excellent poem.
