Prayer
Longing for hate
to take the place
of this hurt which burns
in a heart that yearned...
Wishing to deny
how you've made me cry
My nature you have plundered
now my esteem is cast asunder...
Cuirsing thie grief
which has found no relief
tears, songs, and writing poetry
cannot replace whatyou have torn from me...
Used, and discarded
you have quickly departed
from a scene you helped create:
you hadn't the temerity to commiserate...
