A Joke So Cruel

[John Barnett]

I am haunted daily by your face
memories that I can't seem to erase
Evade my mind and engulf my soul
Feel like I'm falling through a bottomless hole
Pain buries me in myself
Rain covers me in my cell
I'm a prisoner to love and a slave to you
If only you could say you love me too
Set me free, I'm dying in this world
All because you're the only girl
That makes my heart pound fast
And my happiness last
And you took it all away
On the sad, sad day
That you walked out my door
Slammed it on me, said "We're no more"
My heart shattered into
And you left me so cruel
Crying and screaming
Moaning and weeping
Praying for God to save me from you
But my love is eternal, a joke so cruel

These are the words of a broken spirit and cracked heart, very deep and very honest...this is amazing John, it's really great to be reading your work again. I've missed it....glad to see the talent is still there.
