Your love tasted sickly sweet over my lips,

You poured over me like warm honey,

Covering every inch of my body,

And I thought to myself how could anyone love me like you,

Because I didn’t.

And my lips said no,

but you thought that meant go.

My cries feel on your deaf ears,

And I was left in tears.

You consumed me,

Ripped me to my flesh and bones,

And used me,

Until there was nothing left.

And you stood there grinning,

Blood dripping down your chin,

But I just felt chagrin.

I pour wine over the mess you made,

Just to feel anything at all,

But that just made me want to fall,

Back into missing you. 

I wish I didn’t feel used, 

I wish I didn’t fall victim to your kind smile, 

I wish I didn’t feel nothing at all.

I see you have moved on,

Glowing across the world, 

While I bleed out, 

Through my patched up seems.

 

And now that I’m nothing new,

Beaten, broken and used,

How can I go back to who I used to be? 

You made me dull in places where I used to shine.

You made me lose my light,

You made me lose my mind.

And I’m left picking up the pieces, 

And I’m hoping the mosaic equals peace.

Because the last thing I want to do,

Is to be turned into you.

A romantic cynic. Interesting, well played. The trials and tribulations laid out very well in this poems. I can tell this writing took anguish on your part. Definitely smacks of Gas lighting, so horrible. You seem very nice and open and this trust was smashed into the rocks. Carry on, there is true love out there

We love, we lose, we learn. Sometimes love turns into something else. This is well written and expresses a feeling that's conflicted and disappointing. Well done.

but you (though) that meant go. thought.

Thank you for your review! I very much appreciate it as this was a hard piece for me to write. Also, thank you for pointing out the misspell! I totally missed that in my editing.
