In every moment of everyday
Sitting alone in a car park
Late at night
Rain on the windows
The droplets glistening
A soft glow of streetlights
A muted fuzz in the air
These thoughts plague me
You were it to me
The only thing I saw
But when I was close to you
I felt alone
I was alone because you did not understand or care
You kept demanding MORE
But you’d already taken everything
What was left?
My personality withered away under your pressure
What is there left to say
When you ripped apart my insides
Destroying everything I am
Causing pain that will haunt me for the rest of my life
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing that will make the hurt go away
When you were here you’d cut through me everyday
A constantheadache demanding appeasement
You’d wear me down and take what you wanted
But it wasn’t enough
It was never enough
You always had to have more
More, more, more
It didn’t matter the cost
My life, my soul, my future
You had to have it all
My heart throbbing violently
You took it all
Now you’re gone
And I sit alone in desolate car parks
Humming that our youth is almost gone
Thinking about everything that went wrong
Did you remember that it was my birthday
Yesterday?
You’ve been gone for so long
And in every moment of everyday you taint my life
A shadow that bleeds
through the days
Painting the world black and grey
Late at night
Rain on the windows
The droplets glistening
A soft glow of streetlights
A muted fuzz in the air
These thoughts plague me
You were it to me
The only thing I saw
But when I was close to you
I felt alone
I was alone because you did not understand or care
You kept demanding MORE
But you’d already taken everything
What was left?
What is there left to say
When you ripped apart my insides
Destroying everything I am
Causing pain that will haunt me for the rest of my life
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing that will make the hurt go away
When you were here you’d cut through me everyday
A constant
You’d wear me down and take what you wanted
But it wasn’t enough
It was never enough
You always had to have more
More, more, more
It didn’t matter the cost
My life, my soul, my future
You had to have it all
My heart throbbing violently
You took it all
Now you’re gone
And I sit alone in desolate car parks
Humming that our youth is almost gone
Thinking about everything that went wrong
Did you remember that it was my birthday
Yesterday?
You’ve been gone for so long
And in every moment of everyday you taint my life
A shadow that bleeds
through the days
Painting the world black and grey

I enjoyed your poem and especially appreciated your creative method of expression by slashing out certain words which still fit. Adding an extra dimention to your work. Nicely said

you read my heart and wrote it down. I almost cried as another decade goes by this Thursday 5th. of March. Tried to bump this but I am new here .. Thank you for your honesty.
