My Life in Stanzas (My Book of Poetry)

Poem #3 Burn Me

Burn Me

Burn me like you did to her,

And leave me crying in the street,

Give me pain,

Like you gave to her,

And make me face defeat

Rescue me from the darkness like you did with her,

And make me regret that I ever walked away,

Tell me that you love me like you really mean it

And make me want to come back into your deceitful arms

Fool me like you did to her,

Make me realize who you are

Lie to me like I’ll forgive you

And make me want to perish

You did the same things to her,

You loved and then lied,

I should have learned my lesson,

When I saw you walk away,

From your once and only love

When you came upon my life,

I should have known,

That with your devilish smile,

You capture our very souls

I wonder how many girls you’ve seduced,

I wonder if they are all right,

Since the last girl you exploited,

Killed herself to become free,

Of the guilt and circumstances,

Of being tricked by you

I should have learned my lesson when I heard the news,

That my dear sister,

Has committed suicide,

When I learned that she was dead,

I knew that it was you to blame

But your sweet but deadly captivation,

Held me against my will,

I was dragged into your venomous world,

And I soon followed my sister’s footsteps

I saw the light,

An opportunity to escape from you,

And now I’m gone

My world,

My love,

My life,

All gone

All because of you
