Stolen

Ah, Relationships. How double-edged they are.

Stolen

Took away my life,

my love,

my heart,

my soul.

What more is there of me?

A mere image,

for people to stare at?

Dull looking eyes,

for people to wonder about?

Sad frown not smile,

that people talk about?

Am I just a toy?

T-O-Y

T for troubled

O for out there

Y for young

Troubled

Out there

Young

...

What does that mean

the words of toy

1 word

1 syllable

is it me

of course

i am troubled

the first letter of toy

20th of alpha

I am out there

the second letter of toy

15th of alpha

and i am young

the last letter of toy

25th of alpha

I have nothing.

No meaning,

no heart,

no soul,

No life.

I'm merely a hollow mannequin, moving effortlessly throughout everyday life.

My reason to be happy,

want to live and actually smile,

is GONE.

My world has fallen down, and I'm standing infront of a broken mirror,

wondering,

what I did wrong.

What did..I do wrong?

I loved you,

I was happy with you,

but that happiness is a faded, broken memory now.

Lost in the sands of time,

my originality dies.

What do I do now?

Everything hurts.

Everything's empty, and boring.

Life is lonely,

Painful...

Hear me!

Hear my sorrow.

Falling to my knees,

screaming out in pain;

for what that was left of me

has been

Stolen

Hello, this is a pretty somber piece I wrote a few years ago, and just recently fixed up. Hopefully you all like it. Thanks for any views and reviews =).

this is amazingly moving and deeply sad. rekindles old and forgotten pain and broken hearted memories of my younger days. astounding in form and content,
it personifies the agony of love lost and makes the reader identify emotionally.
masterfully written, this is a swan song to loves gone by.

What I think is you have a beautiful mind. I can tell you where going through deep pain when you wrote it, something for which I can relate too. I think this was written tremendous emotions. And I think you are an amazing writer Sparks. Never stop!!!

Wow! this was awesome. looking at the structure i didn't think it would flow well but reading it it had such a rhythmic flow i could almost sing it. i could picture you doing a live spoken word performance of this piece. and the emotion! the emotion is amazing. My favorite is the question towards the end "what did i do wrong?" that part was great. i think a lot of young women will relate to this!

Yes!!! The honesty of pain. We can all relate, no matter how much we don't like to admit it. How that hollow emptiness helps up pour out these words... A wonderful write I read twice.

It's nice to know that we are not alone in the feelings of daily claustrophobia. Thank you for this.

When reading it, its like waves almost. It goes up and suddenly crashes down, recedes and goes through the same motion again and again. Nice.
