I was broken and I thought

You were an angel,

Sent from Heaven to heal me.

You did for a time, but

It's difficult for someone

Who hasn't got a heart to love,

Isn't it?

My words fly at you like lightning,

Cruel and biting,

As rapid as blows.

My anger keeps me fueled,

Each word a knife that tears

My own wound wider.

You protest with a grace and wit

That only you have,

And that is as dangerous,

As my fury. With one simple word

My world, my hope

Is destroyed

"Friends?"

My tears fall as softly

As flower petals in a breeze.

No one knows, especially

You and your games

If you're lucky you won't

Find someone else

To destroy.

I don't hate you.

I don't love you, either.

These feelings strike as

Swift as lightning and

Are gone just as fast.

Why can't I hate you?

I try and try, but fail.

Like flowers, your pretty words

Draw me closer, but not in.

I am not a fool. I won't fall

For that empty smile again.

My non-existent life is

Stuck, in a void that

I cannot fill by myself.

My heart is missing,

Or broken, shattered.

I'm tired of being used

Or being ignored and hurt.

Just leave me be and

Let me heal my

Imaginary heart.

Just let me be a

Nobody again.
