My Heart And Soul Renamed

There were times I was mistaken

Believing in those delicious words,

Time and time again it was spoken

As I bathed in the words that I heard.

***

But it was lies, not an ounce of truth

And I lost so much of myself it’s true,

Naively believing those silky whispers

Pushing aside the doubts, I had a few.

***

I tore off pieces of my innocent heart

Certain it was right to give them away,

As these pieces were my pure love

Now renamed pain without my okay.

***

I never dreamed those broken pieces

Would be used to further your gain,

Those pieces of my innocent heart

You ruthlessly turned into bloody pain.

***

Still I chipped away pieces of my soul

And once again it was misconstrued,

I presented them to you as my home

Only for my soul to be horridly abused.

***

It was those very beings I trusted

Who betrayed me in my time of need,

Renaming my soul in the underworld

Smiling as they watched me bleed.

***

I attempted to recover those pieces

Of both my soul and my broken heart,

Preferring the pain and underworld halls

Than living broken and torn apart.
