I could see

Deep within your eyes I saw a sunken soul
The hurt you felt, was too hard to control
My love for you was deep, I needed you to see
Was not for me to keep, you couldn’t see the me
I held your heart in mine, I loved you oh so true
You found someone to hurt, to make feel oh so blue
I begged you not to pain, the depths within my soul
To make me suffer was your aim, to hurt and heal and claim
To hit me hard emotionally, there that was your game.
I loved you like no other, soulmates yes we were
But anger you held deep within
Nothing could deter.
We held eachother from within
Our souls they touched as one
But all the pain you carried was never joy or fun
The baggage that was yours, was never mine to pain
But you showered it upon me, like strong torrential rain
the tears I cried weren’t worth it
You never cared for me
You lied and said you loved me
My friends they all could see.
You loved the thought of paybacks
Your ego streamed with glee.
You needed to feel powerful
To cut me down to size
But all you did was alienate, insult and hear my cries.
I loved the man who I could see
That broken wounded soul
But you could never love me
I was just your battered doll

The broken will rise
The fallen will suffer 🦋
