Tarnished & Stained

In your eyes I see sadness;

though happiness is portrayed.

As your misery piles up, it’s

your contentment that’s delayed.

It was your touch that made these tears

drop. But love kissed them away. Both

of us know that only the world benefits

if they stay.

With every touch a bit more of me

disappeared.

Loneliness is what I feared. Confused

by most lies, as my conscience tries

to free me!

Rid me of this anger, this disgusting

hate and pain.

We can’t change what we’ve done to each

other, but me, I’m tarnished and stained.

Together we can’t be. We need to be apart.

Because you tried to love me-when I loved

you from the start.

I need your touch like I need a hole in the

head!

Even though you loved me-you loved her in my bed.

If your misery persists,

when it becomes hard to breathe.

When you’re so strung out on me

that you never want to leave.

I have no response- I’m deflated, I’m

drained.

You’ve changed me forever!

I’m tarnished and stained.
