Memories of you

I have many poignant memories of you
You were my knight in shining armor
My fairy tale dream comes true

You broke down my defenses
Tortured and teased with tender caresses
Overloading my cascading swirling senses

You branded my heart with convincing lies
Tattooed my soul with tender loving words
You entangled my being with invisible ties

One day you walked away without saying goodbye
You left me, leaving my heart tattered and torn
My tender weeping soul wanted to curl and die

After your betrayal, I crawled inside myself that day
Cradled my broken, bleeding heart, torrents of tears I cried
My tortured soul tried pushing delicious memories of you away

I lay awake many a cold lonely grievous night
Struggling through countless empty days
Hoping that somehow my tortured being would find the light

Now your back telling me you made a terrible mistake
Trying to assure me you would never leave again
You taunted, teased and cajoled my tortured soul awake

"I want to believe you ",my broken heart said
My bruised aching soul screamed, "Oh no, not again"
The next time hes leaves you will be broken and dead.

My sage of a soul screamed at you, "leave me be"
My heart cried, "I'm not your toy and I'm through with you."
So in the end I kept the memory and set my shining knight free

I have many poignant memories of you
You were my knight in shining armor
My fairy tale dream comes true
