CRUSHED

I fell so hard…. crushed every bone
The pain too much to bear
Hearing it was over now
Was ringing in my ears.

Learning this was now the end
That there was someone else
Left me feeling so betrayed
No one knows… just how I felt.

Flailing, desperate, so confused
You turned your back on me
Nothing I could do or say
You wanted to be free.

Words spoken in slow motion
Couldn’t look me in the eye
Told me you needed me to go
No point in asking why.

Gave you all I had to give
Felt ashamed, played back the tapes
Promises made …. meant nothing now
Sadly, it was too late.

A stepping stone, a refuge
I was a stop along your way
I offered you all I had to give
I gave it all away.

Believed you were my soulmate
A love shared … right to the end
Now I hope I’ll never see you
See you in this life, again.

Don’t come to me in dreams at night
I’m feeling so disgraced
Don’t want to have to talk to you
Don’t want to see your face.

My dignity gone, can’t get it back
Can’t believe what I did for you
I ‘m now left with guilt and shame
And, there’s nothing I can do.

Crushed, eviscerated
Left alone to lick my wounds
Left in the dark , now by myself
Hope to feel much better soon.
