you never really know what love is, until it breaks your heart.

Tender scabs
Reopen up
Long worn bruises,
Still tender to the touch
Gives my heart
An interminable pain
Ad instill the tears
To my eyes,
Drowning me,as i lie inane
Affected by your beauty
i become addicted
Moribund inside,from
That thin,cold blade
Thrust into my whole being
Exudes does my sweetest blood
Faltering as i walk to you,i
Lapse into a weak fit ofrage
Crying out,asking you,why
Not me
You stole my heart
Now,abashed from the slice
By the Knife of Shame
You just leave lorn,my heart
Ripped into shreds and broken,
Marred by,you
The one,i could not satisfy
