I remember looking in the mirror
seeing us grow old together
now the glass shatters
and the jagged edges
cut my bare feet
I bleed rivers, oceans
and soon grow faint and weak
from loss of blood and sadness
falling I remember how
I gave so much to "us"
I ripped my heart
from my chest
sold my soul to hell
and if there was anything else
I would have done that too
to have you
pretend the fairy tale
of happy ever after
but you struck me down
with your harsh cold blade
you used me
again and again
like some cheap vibrating sex toy
bleeding me dry
till I was less then human
but you could not stop at that
shattering everything
until I became what you always
wanted me to be
an empty shell
lying naked
in Times Square
bleeding, dying
your masterpiece
on display for all the world to see.

Ouch! If this is written about you, I am so terribly sorry. How painful; how broken your heart is ...

My only hope is that you still have hope and find the inspiration to go on...

You have alot of things to say and you say it well.

I often times think that there is some indication of this in the early stages...recently I met a woman and I just got the feeling that she was the type of woman that would bring pain and suffering back into my life...I am moving very slow on this one...James
