Broken Hope

She stabs my tender heart With a staff of anger Spinning me into a whirl Hurling me beyond A terror unspeakable She tears my very soul And dampens my eyes By being as harsh As she can be I harbor slim hope Will she come back Can I receive love again Like we once were But the pain exists still From her horrid being Breaking my spirit in two Now I wander around The dark-lit sky Simmers a forlorn glance Nothing is really left That resembles our love What once was Never to be again She crushed that dream A long time ago Destroying and annihilating Bruising my heart Again and again She carries on I will never hold her again She has thrown me For the last time I will now leave her In her own fierceness Of an ex girlfriend a long time ago
