I saw your name in a poem
Someone else wrote about my life
And did not sign their name.
My heart broke so finally and completely into dust;
And then it blew away.
The pain was a silent, rapid thunderbolt,
A jolt of reality harsh, quick and stunning,
Like a slap to the core of my inner soul.
Tears brimmed to my eyes
As my heart released them.
They cut my soul like two-edged swords
As they fell - so many I could not see.
The pain reared up on my tongue
And it tasted of stale memories
And shattered dreams that have a death hold
on my suffocating soul.
The story is mine, the pain is mine,
You stole my heart and my reality
And someone else stole my words.
