III of Swords Spell

Oh, the aching, breaking, forsaking 
rakes my open and willing heart.
The lies, betrayal and secrecy
you performed as an art!

I could say I didn't see it coming,
that love was blind,
clouded my mind,
kept my hammered heart drumming;
but I felt it ripping,
sensed it snipping
me into shards from the start.

From the beginning,
your fangs were dripping
and sipping
what you needed and more.

Pour another, and another for me.
Poor me! Pour me
into another,
a different mother, father, lover,
so I can be free.

Divide me into pieces
so that my feeling decreases.
Release me of this
hissing, soul-missing
controlling, deep abyss
abysmal black, false bliss.

This forced kiss,
This hug shove,
A poison pill,
A prison chill.
I watched it from above.
All, not something, is amiss...

Your lack of love
hurts but doesn't kill.
My own heart I shall refill.
I will heal.
One day again, I will feel.
And this time the love will be real.
