As the Heart Aches

by replica - Libra

The times I have shoved everything
Aside for you
The times I have destroyed it all
For you, then wondered why
When I am alone, I feel
Such pain, such emptiness.
As if you and i had never been
It ends as it began -
Life is full of its own petty revolutions -
I have given up everything
To become whole,
Instead of some half-hearted
Replica of an ideal me.
Such self-sacrifice and hopeful yearnings
Are torn apart,
Discarded useless
Stepping stones for the users and the abusers
Whose drug of choice is 
The breaking down
The burning down
Of the little selfishness
That could make my life so much better.

Reason for writing:

    i think this one pretty much speaks for itself.
