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.

Dear Brad, excuse me for being crass, "But she ain't no princess!!!"

~ May the next love in your life, BE the love of your life!

Sadly, this seems to be a very heartfelt piece. My heart cries as it feels the pain in yours. May you soon find what you need to begin again though, and start the climb back up...back up to an even better place than you were before because of the lessons learned from this struggle. Best wishes to you Brad..
Love,
Serena

Touching, sad, heartbreaking. I agree, she ain't no princess. But, alas, to you I'm sure she was, or it wouldn't have hurt so much.

Hauntingly beautiful write. I am sorry for your loss. Always know that "she" is somewhere out there, the one who will give you the love you so obviously deserve. Thanks for sharing from the heart, the pain and agony so brilliantly portrayed in this poem.
