Played by the dark prince.

A journey of sorrow.

Broken and shattered 
Torn and tattered 
Lost and beaten 
Hurt and weakened 
Why must I go through all this pain? 
From the sunny side to the dark dark rain 
All to find what I've been waiting for.. 
Love and nothing more 
I found you 

and now I'm lost 
For there is always a cost 
A cost of pain and suffering 
And wondering what tomorrow might bring 
A sunny ray 
Or another rainy day 
Forgotten and lost 
Tortured and tossed 
Dead and rotting 
Bloody and jotting 
I have no soul; for I sold it to the dark prince 
for a chance at love and 25 cents 
He shook my hand and made a deal 
His fingers were crossed, 
and only time could reveal 
He sent me on a journey to find you 
I walked millions of miles until I reached the town of blues. 
I found you there holding a flower 
Your feelings for me quickly turned sour 
You spat in my face and knocked me to the ground 
There I quickly found 
The pieces to my broken heart 
I scooped them up and began to part 
Only to find that I could not leave with something that didn't belong to me 
So I left the shattered pieces in the bloody sea 
Battered and burned 
Choked and churned 
Pitiful and scared 
Heartless and without care

Emily, I am so sorry for the pain it sounds like you've had to endure. I suffered many, many years of abuse in my youth followed by more years of pain and heartache before finally healing. Now I have a truly wonderful, happy life. As long as there is a tomorrow, there is hope. You have expressed yourself well in your poetry.
