Dismissed

It cost you nothing

not a single damn thing

to reach in

grab my heart

twist it

tear it

before handing it back

with nary a sorry

or sad look.

Resistance was futile

is that not what they say?

Your smooth words

my need for love

combined are deadly.

Not to you

for it was all a ruse

but for me though

these tears…..

will they ever stop?

will I ever see without blurred vision?

will I ever cease to feel

this overwhelming

black consuming ache?

Hand on the blinds

pulled  back

watching you drive away

biting my lip

this pain

I can deal with…..

this pain…..

I can understand.

Zero effort on your part

a hundredfold on mine.

This…..

it is not what I want…..

it is not what I wanted…..

yet I let you in

when you promised

that if I gave you my trust

allowed you to stand at my side

no longer would I be alone

no longer would I have to cry.

These tears

I shall let them flow

falling to dark heart

turn to ice

no more shall I love

no more shall I hurt.

Time has come

I am undone.

Trite as this will sound

(I do beg your forgiveness)

love shall live here no more.
