    Tragedy of Love

    In a heap of agony, You would watch me die, Because I believed your lies. I cared so much. You cared so little. Now I’m drowning in a puddle Of sorrow and betrayal. You told me we would be forever. But for you, It actually meant never. I’m lying in a pool of despair, Because ...

Every blood-curdling scream from my throat over 3 years was a testament to the manipulation that you had subdued me to.

    As the sun began to bleed  At dusk and the birds Gathered for the evening chorus, I began to wonder if this was A dream.   Your hands were so small, Your eyes never got to see  Pinks and reds of dawn,  Let alone this sunset, or a Full moon.   I had waited so ...
