“BREAK YOU DOWN”

I’VE IMAGINED ALL THE WORDS THAT YOU’VE EVER SAID AND COULD POSSIBLY SAY TO ME,

AND IN THE END IT HAS LEFT ME,

PAINED ME,

CUT ME SO DEEPLY,

EACH AND EVERY TIME I FEEL I AM IN PLACE,

THE TRUE REALITY OF LIFE SHOWS IT’S UGLY FACE,

JUST WHEN I BELIEVED THAT IN YOUR HEART I’D FOREVER WIN THE RACE,

YOU QUICKLY SHOT THIS MAN DOWN AND INSTANTLY SHOWED AND TOLD ME IT WASN’T THE CASE,

A LOVE ONCE BELIEVED IN CONQUERING ALL THINGS IN IT’S PATH AND VIEW,

SIMPLY BROKEN DOWN, CRUMBLED TO PIECES AND DUST IT’S OVER NOW,

OVER AND THREW,

SO AS I REMAIN BROKEN DOWN TO THE MINUSCULE OF MOLECULES,

SADLY AND KNOWINGLY I’M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU,

IN MY BODY THERE IS NOT AN OUNCE- NOT A THOUGHT OF BREAKING YOU,

ALL I EVER CARED TO BE WAS YOUR ALL, YOUR STRENGTH, EVERYDAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LOVE BRAND NEW,

BREAKING, I’M BREAKING AND UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO, 

THE CRACKING IN MY VOICE, THE THE RAGING WAR THAT LIES WITHIN, 

I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO BRACE MYSELF  FROM WHAT I DEEMED YOUR GRACE

– I HAVE SIMPLY BROKEN DOWN, CRUMBLED, AND FALLEN.
