Tonight, I sit here,
Tears streaming down my face,
You have wretched my heart from me.

I trusted you.
I gave you everything.
You took and took and left me a shell.

Where is the justice?
Where is the truth?

I asked only to be loved
As I have loved you,
Selfless and unconditional.

Yet you cannot
You hold back, you find fault,
You do not return my love.

Tonight, I sit here,
Heart less.

Very powerful,heart felt poem.
Only thing I would change,third line second stanza,take out one  "took",I feel only one is needed to say what you need to.
More than that gives me the feeling of desperation,not the feeling of "heart less"
(hopelessness)I think you were looking for.
Just my opinion.
Good read
