Consumed and Tossed Asunder

Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy – Loves, lamentation, and life through prose, stories, passions, and essays. (wordpress.com)
You tear me apart with every word
You strip away my flesh and bone
This situation is quite absurd
You’re toxic treatment I can’t condone
–
You manipulated me and told lies
Many false words led me astray
Relationships dwindle when the love dies
The best parts of me were ripped away
–
I covered you in my blanket of love
You smothered me in your cruel hate
I brought you peace like a dove
And you left me to choke on my fate
–
Through great effort I lost all that weight
And I gained a lot of muscle
You never noticed until it was too late
Rendering moot much my hustle
–
A starving man, I was neglected
As your love was withheld from me
Instead of being protected
Your ugliness consumed me
–
I wanted to be your lover
Though you never really did care
Instead I got screwed over
And you were my cross to bear
–
So I had bid goodbye to you
Long before you left our sacral bed
Today I try to think the best of you
But worms of your memory burrow holes in my head… ~ ~ ~
