You are right there etched in my mind
You have seen it all what's on my mind
Your words hover deep in my skin
I bet you think that you will already win
The hurt and pain you see on me now
You knew what happened you knew how
Every last line you told me is there
I only wish I hadn't a care
The wounds lie inside and out
Makes me so mad makes me want to shout
I cling to the memory of how it once was
When you used to love me just because
Now you question everything I do
You don't know me at all you haven't a clue
My words lie heavy on your mind
Give it a chance give it some time
Your words are etched in my skin
You probably think your going to win
I gave you my all you threw it away
Your words on my skin always will stay

Oh so very sad! Some wounds never heal but we learn to live with them.
This emotionally charged and deeply felt poem is well written and though sad a pleasure to read

Speaks deeply about something to which most of us have been victim of at one time or another, that being the games that some play to acquire love from us.

Vivid images touch my mind as I read this. The rhyming makes this flow so well...and the pain is so evident! Very nice take on this prompt. I wish you the best in the contest and in all things!
