Broken and Bruised

A Poem

Ever felt as if you're all alone

although people are all around

ever felt as if you've been kicked to the floor

when really you're stood upon the ground

the walls, they slowly cave in

my heart, it no longer beats

time seems to drag, minutes to hours

this soul fades as ache defeats

the tears have now formed

a never ending stream

my eyes sting from this current

which drowns my every dream

bitter thoughts of you flash back

anger and hate turn to dread

why did you enter my life

just to cause pain and wishing to be dead

how did your mind become so twisted

planning every single move

cautiously threw that hook out

reel me in, knowing what i'd lose

you bruised me, broke me, scarred me

but still it wasn't enough

you stole every final hope

that things wouldn't always be as tough

my rainbows, they have turned

into dark grey clouds and skies

the bunnies ran for cover

so as not to hear your evil lies

those happy feelings you threw away

will take ages to return

all because you played your game

then watched as my heart began to burn

piece by piece, bit by bit

I'm trying to find the old me

struggling to regain my strength

for how much longer will this be?

heartbreak
