Pray for me not
Since I no longer believe,
I trust in a feeling
Now it's got to leave.
Bleed out my soul
Gashing wounds unseen,
You'll never see
Just how much to me you mean.

Pray for me not
For heaven is now extinct,
This slashing web of emotion
Disallows me to think.
Make them here believe
The torn victim is you,
Maybe just a little
But not entirely true.

Pray for me not
We know it does no good,
I'd scream myself silent
If indeed I only could.
An angel's bare skin
Yet tonight I didn't see,
Her presence shook my core
Somehow violating me.

Pray for me not
For you make an easy goodbye,
Yet I master the game
But you won't tell me why.
To love, honor, cherish
And those other cliches,
Loving you though I guess
Was not enough to say.

Pray for me not
Again I will walk alone,
A heart that was warming
Reverts back to its stone.
I'm taking my game
Psychological pawns,
To figure out my mystery
Of all the wrongs.

Pray for me not
I'll devour my misery,
Romance is dead
Killed by its own chivalry.
Your belief in me dead
What more can I do,
Sincerety rang however
When I said I loved you.

Well you sure did out do yourself here.  Great words of wisdom.  But u mentioned *victim*, isnt it better to have loved then never to of loved at all?  I think we tend to over look the reasons we fell in love with a person.  And let the anger take over.  Sad, but thats how I believe.  
Once again, very nice work.
