Why Did U Leave Me

I gave you my love  
But you escaped the chapters of my life 
Tearing pieces of my broken emotions;
You trimmed my thoughts 
And wrestled with my feelings 

Like a roaring lion 
You devoured my skin 
Shattered my dreams 
Screwed me like a mechanic 
And hung dark clouds over my heart 

I offered you myself 
In return for your soul 
But you spat on my grave 
And called me different names
The sun seemed tired of making love to the moon 

Sweet darkness! 
This name held me into your arms 
Clustered my body with yours
Caused me to fall drunk 
As you silently slipped me to hell
