to you my soul i gifted
laid my heart bare
let your naked eye
see the truth that it pumped
the truth that coursed
through these veins
I allowed your presence
to be the pillar that granted
me strength when i was weary
it pains me that I wasn’t enough
to keep your eye glued
to a future we had proclaimed to erect
that your mind was led astray
and our love you would eventually betray
the soul I had unto you gifted
lies in ruin, bruised and battered
pain being pumped by this heart
which remains shattered and fearful
these veins circulating the doubt
I know possess
