another poem...but beware

Neglected, I am nothing but a pawn
In a game I could never understand.
Cruel and savage emotions of pure hate
Enter the wounds you carved into my heart
With hatred’s knife. In broken silence, I
Remain a captive of your evil whims.
My heart was never good enough for you.
No−instead you had to take away what
Was most precious to me− my trust.
Use me and abuse me, strip all my pride
Away and leave me here, a lonely fool
On the long staircase of eternity
Leading to the darkest chasms of hell.
Yes, in hell where the fires singe away
The armor that guarded my heart from pain
Until the day I trusted you and let you in
My life. Why was I so oblivious
To your serpent tongued speeches; words so soft,
So pleasant to my ears and leaving me
With only empty words, never saying
That you loved me, that you hated me?
An angel then, a Satan now, I know
I was deceived and part of your cruel game.
You took my loving heart and molded it
To fit your needs. Was it your intention
To break me? Well, I guess you succeeded.
I am broken, battered, a slave to thoughts
Of loneliness that never cease to leave.
I am the ashes left behind of a
Broken Phoenix never to rise again.
