I Loved You
I see you, lying there,
Dead,
Like a dog,
Bleeding.
Your blood and sweat mixing
And pouring on the floor.
I love you.
I opened myself to you.
You knew everything about me.
I trusted you.
But I turned around and you
Stabbed me in the back.
I loved you.
Your eyes were wide with shock,
As I came towards you,
Then they turned to fear.
I loved you.
As you fell and scrambled away,
I came forward with my arm raised high,
My eyes bleak and emotionless,
You watched as my arm came down,
And you screamed.
I loved you.
I am empty now,
My body is covered with your blood,
You took away my heart,
I took away your life.
I loved you.
But I cannot live with a heart.
Me, the dog hugging, children loving person that I was,
You have destroyed me.
I am nothing. What do I have to life for?
I loved you.
“I can’t fake living with emptiness
inside me,” I say out loud.
As I sink the knife into myself.
It hurts, but finally as my eyes close,
I feel.
I finally feel something.
I loved you.
And a teardrop falls to my cheek,
Just as I fall atop you.
I really did love you.
