YOU BROKE ME

YOU BROKE ME

I am so very, very sad
My tears have drowned God’s Grounds

I cannot laugh. I’ve lost my smiles
It’s really brought me down

The ink runs now and blots and blurs
And words run off the page

I think how sad now I’ve become
Your words, they spoke of change

They marked the moments of my mind
On bitter lips I’m framed

The endless echo, “You don’t care!
“Stop!” they brought the rain

The sleepless days and endless nights
The regrets of pills and purse

The chance to show your love to one
Too young to know what’s worse

But the place is gone, and the home to be
Its locale seems to matter not

The Sunday play and weekends free
And the care of a child not sought

Are lost on folly, circumstance
And life that hasn’t changed, I see

The course you’ve set, the walk alone
Narcissistic me…

I guess it’s still my fault!
