And Since Then…//Poem

And since then, I've slept 

In your absence, absence

Like the night sky without 

The moon to rule over it, 

Call me bitter, call me cruel, 

But you made me this way, 

The way you destroyed my 

Home, my home my peace 

Of mind,my mind replaying 

The cherish memories that 

I now hate, hating how 

I welcomed you into my home 

My home with open arms, 

Arms that hugged you, cradled 

You every day and night, Nights that turned 

Quiet, quiet as a calming sea before

The storm, the storm of the pain you

 caused, caused by your lack of love, 

Love that I had to earn, earn my 

Very right to be loved…Love was 

A game of chess, chess in which I 

Was just a piece you played, played 

And sacrificed

And since then, those love letters 

You wrote became trash, trash 

Where all your gifts are now in, 

In a trash bin that’s now combusting 

Hotter than the hottest levels 

of Hell… 

Since then I never loved 

The way I loved you…
