Never Love

Broken down from your hard looks
And uncaring affection,
Took my happy and left
A girl stripped of innocence and  worth.
Your hugs were tight but lacked warmth,
Never true, you only loved you.
You swatted me away,
My love an unwanted pest.


I lost myself in you,
To your hate and paranoia.
Eggshells and broken glass
Was the floor beneath my feet.
Tears and pain I shed
With you listening on the other line.
Never once did you better it.
Never once did you see me.


Wasted smiles and kisses
On a man who cannot feel.
I was a fool to ever see beyond it.
To see who you might be
Instead of the cruel monster
All warned about.
I see you and all you are
Never again will you be a prince and savior


I hate you, for all you did,
For the lies, the cold looks, the screams you inflected.
The frustration you took out on me
Because no one else cared.
I hate you for the girl you left behind,
The girl unable to trust, to love, to open up.


I am stronger without you
Never looking back to the past.


I wish you well
That you find peace and happiness within yourself.
One day I will forgive you,
But not today,
Never today.
Free from your hold at last
Moving to the future
Only hoping for love.

True Love.
