STAMP ON ME

Some things affect you long after the fact and leave you permanently changed.

For such a long time i thought i was free.

So sure i'd picked up the pieces, left the scabs heal.

I'd cried all the tears and felt all the pain but waves of deceit still crash in my brain.

Drowning out my certainty , i'm swimming in self doubt.

Feels like you've stripped me of my power to always see the light.

I wonder do you even know the cost paid for your sins.

Have you forgiven and forgotten all the hurtful things you did.

Do you care that i still suffer, is your black heart glad to know ,

That you ruined my trust in others,now my heart can't find a home.

Inside i'm left so damaged, wounds that don't stay healed.

Your cruelness and unkindness stole the girl i used to be.

Yet you walk around still smiling and your world is full with love

And at night you sleep so soundly thinking that you've done no wrong.

You probably think i had it coming cause i told you who you were.

So while your life is perfect and you think you've caused no harm,

Your stamp on me is a broken soul , a life alone and a heart that can't be loved

A heart-rending piece that speaks to those who have ever experienced a bad love. It really will change a person forever and is not always easy to come back from. This was an emotionally impactful piece. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.

Thank you very much. It helps me to write it out and exorcise some demons. :)
