Love Poem: Curse

Curse

Why has thou given me love,
Given me thy heart, 
Given me thy soul,
To take it away leave me and go?
To bluntly put it in my face,
To dangle it in front of my eye’s,
To tell me forever and know that there lies.

“I love you” you say,
but then you take it away the very next day.

I curse you for loving me and leaving me,
I curse you for telling me eternity,
And I curse you forever wanting me.

Look at my soul,
Look at what you have done,
You have taken the best of me and left me with none.

This dwindling body,
This empty soul,
This heart that once beat red,
Now beats the color of coal.

I am a shell of a man,
That once stood proud,
Ready for the future ready for the now,
But look at me I say,
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK look at me now,
For I am nothing but a man,
That once stood proud.
