Carnal Crimes

Too many times  
You have hijacked  
My heart  
Kicked it around  
Torn it apart  
Commiting Grand Larceny  
With each new start  
You trampled on    
this nearly shattered heart  
I don't need your attitude  
It leaves me cold  
Just like your  
so called platitudes    
   
There's no evidence  
Left behind  
Of all of your  
 carnal crimes  
My neediness trips  
Me up each time  
Leads me off course  
Fills me with such    
Dreadful remorse  
   
Now, I can see clearly    
Through the fog  
When it comes to love  
I can never hide  
The real woman  
That I am inside  
So I choose to leave  
While I still have    
self pride inside  
   
At last, I wonder  
Just a few things like  
Is love truth or just a lie  
I tried love too many times
And each time I lose
 it seems to be  
most certainly true  
That I was born  
So black and blue
