Broken



You reach in and grasp my heart Squeezing and twisting, draining every last ounce of compassion, love and want out. Drip by drip until nothing remains but a hollow shell. The heart wrenching anguish you provide builds up inside of me. Relinquishing my body of my soul. The anger and hurt overpowers all other emotions. If your intentions were to replace my feelings with loathing and self doubt you have succeeded. You have ruined me. No other man will ever want this damaged heart, soul and body.   All I feel is darkness, it surrounds me. Slowly creeping in like smoke from an extinguished fire. The life will soon be drained from me and I welcome it. Let the darkness overcome me. At least I will feel something.
