Crippled

My body breaths, but my heart is dead.
The darkness grips my lung so tight,
Unsure of the love that felt so right.
Till the end of time is what she said�
Without her love, my feet are lead.

In with a breeze & out with a gust.
And in my pity with bottle in my hand,
My eyes burn clear with her torturing brand.
She took me in with loveless lust,
And let me go with a sour disgust.

Simple breaths repeated day by day.
Getting better with a puddle of tears,
But not the love my heart now fears.
I sit all alone & begin to cry�
Trying to murmur the words �good-bye�.
