Naked and Bleeding

Teardrops fall
As innocence glistens
I will not be taken
By your hunger again
I’ve nothing left
But still you won’t listen
The greed that overcomes you
Has overcome man

I pick up my pieces
And head for the hallway
I will not endure
This brand of shame
You skip over lightly
To stand in the doorway
Still determined to place me
In your hall of fame

My heart scatters lightly
Over your cluttered mezzanine
Lost in the garbage
Of your precious hauteur
Ripped by the vines
Of your tangled deceit
I put band-aids on gashes
No longer so pure

I have become
The whore on your walkway
Spread for all to see
The deranged slut in your bed
A foul being created
From your private soiree
Left naked and bleeding
A blank mind left for dead

My innocence devoured
A pure heart for dinner
A soul left for salvage
My smile a display
You took the life
And the beauty I was given
Tossed me a dozen black roses
As you strode away

While I agree that this is a wonderful write I will say that women are just as scandelous (if not more so) than men. Not that I was really reading any one-sidedness into this. Anyway, awsome job Fawn:p ~Ryan

I happen to agree with all that has been said in previous comments. This is magnificent... Guys do what we do and don't really care about the pain we're inflicting; it's a sad story. *sighs* the world has come to this..
