The Shores of Alone

Never
would I have expected this
horrid outcome
this
lack of compassion
this coldness arising
from the warmth
he had given me.

Never
would I have believed
he would take love and dreams
and laugh in their face,
crush them under his ever so nice
shoes
and walk away,
maintaining a spring in his step
while I lay on the bathroom floor,
my heart bleeding out all over me.

Never
would I have agreed
to be hurt like this,
to be all but destroyed
with shallow words, so falsely placed
and hardened arms that held me tight,
then pushed me away with violent denial
almost in the same instant,
as though schizophrenia were a viable
answer.

Never
Never

This is a sad and very good poem
