Love's Blade

By Lillith D.

Your words they cut me deeply,
like a cold, unyielding knife.
You wield the blade so freely,
as you cut me from your life.

I feel my body weaken,
as my soul begins to die.
My breath comes out in whispers,
with no strength in me to cry.

How could I let this happen,
I feel my heart betrayed.
The part I opened up to you,
lies forgotten and decayed.

I gather what is left of me,
a mere hollow, empty shell.
And vow never more to feel the pain,
that sent my heart to hell.

But how soon the heart has forgotten,
the twisting, burning knife.
As again we come full circle,
as you step back into my life
