the crystal shard cutting your eye
came from the heart of a young man
so blessedly ignorant of your type
he waded into your pain like water

except you had only faked it
and everything else in your sorry life
so involved in getting somewhere
never noticing the blisters where you tread

what you saw in him was not interest
at least not in his heart, money yes
a way to bide your time, pay your bills
extracting the cost from his blood

all this time he believes in you
his fragile heart held in your hands

you grow bored
get a loan from daddy

and with crocodile tears in your eyes
you smash his heart with a hint of a smile

I could feel the pain in this one James. But it is so well written! It cuts clean through to some hidden spaces.

Chalk it up to experience. This is the kind of thing that makes cynics of idealists. I like the poem.
