Desperation

Desperate for acceptance

I bared my heart and soul to you,

Ignominiously I gave what you wanted me too,

Now I am scratching around in the ashes

Of my life that you burnt down,

Scrabbling for the prices of my love scattered on the ground,

You hurt me, you broke me

You abused me and exploited me,

I hope you’re satisfied now that you got me on my knees,

And everything is cold now, just like your heart

You ripped open my chest and tore my ribs apart,

And ripped out my vital organ and hung it beating with the rest

I am just another fucking victim who tried their best,

To love you, to heal you,

To warm your very being

But I don’t think anyone is capable of making you believing

Anyone could be your equal and worthy of your love,

So that’s why I guess you incinerate us and leave us in the dust

Of our despair and bitter tears,

That we foolishly shed over you

But no longer am I going to cry anymore and that’s the truth

But it’s hard to find my way out of the darkness you left me in

But from this moment onward I am going to begin to free myself.

  1. What you wrote is very good. I read it once and reread it, and when I started again, the title jumped at me. It does convey desperation. Thanks.
