You gave me an unwanted gift my love, its tearing at my heart,

You pierced my heart with your words so cruel, blunt and unfeeling,

Telling me you no longer want or desire me, that I am unwanted,

not worthy of you, no longer belong and that you want your freedom,

I gape at you in horror, stunned, mortified, frozen, I cannot speak,

I sit and listen as you say all the things that you despise about me,

The words like lashes from a whip, cutting, burning tearing at my soul,

making me bleed,  tearing up my love, I feel that I am being pushed into a pit,

falling deeper into a black hole, the light fading, my eyes become dull as my ,

heart feels ,  I will laugh no more, I cannot  bear it,

uncomprehending I cannot understand how it came to this, I sigh and tears,

begin to pool like a dam of sorrow, I turn away, I cannot bear to look at your,

sneering face as you continue,

you are done, you get up and leave, leaving my heart a crumpled mess on the floor,

in pieces, I crumple to the floor, abandoned and alone, take back this gift my love I  cry,

no answer and the silence engulfs me, I cry silently, shuddering, as all my dreams shatter,
