This is today's poem for the April 2015 Poem A Day Challenge by Writer's Digest.
Today's prompt is Departure.
What Once Was by Amy Kaye
Lost and Broken
You Hypnotised Me
Like A Magnet
Your Sad Story
Pulled Me In
The Loss In Your Eyes
Reached Out
And Enveloped me in your Pain
It was like I was returning
To a familiar place of destruction
All the signs were there
Warning me of the Danger! Danger! Danger!
But I was hooked
Together We dove Deep
Into the grey pools of pain
Like a Blanket
You wrapped me in the comforts of loss
I Held On
Even though your words
Became sharp like shattered glass
You told me that Love wasn’t easy
And I stupidly wanted to believe
This heart break meant something
But the manipulation continued
As you whispered empty lies to me at night
With nothing to cling to
But a tiny voice that once was my beating heart
I left not knowing how I would go on
I left not knowing who I was
And as the last words were said
It was finally over
And slowly I will return to myself like an old friend
