deprived

She tells me she cares,
a friend, a fiend,
a liar.
She tells me to overcome my fears,
to remove the thorn,
but it isn't that easy.
She never knew loss,
she never knew pain,
she never knew heartbreak,
she never knew love.

I did. I know.
It will haunt me till I become one
with the soil.

He said it was my fault,
he said he didn't care,
when clearly he did,
each and every day,
when clearly he does,
each and every day,
when clearly he will,
each and every day.

He knows he drained me
of every happiness,
every hope.

Yet he continues to taunt me,
staring into my eyes,
teasing me,
reminding me I can't have him
any more.
Reminding me I am deprived.
