Sway

You were easy to sway

You filled

The lonely void

But, took something

More precious when you

Scampered,

Thought we got

Something special

The lies you fed,

An entertainer

A pass time

My worth

You

Measured,

Million pieces scattered

Around me

No matter,

Continents apart

Still

A thorn

From my past,

Poking me

For naivety

I crass,

Trust a

Foreign land

I fear to venture,

Burnt thousand times

Scars lathered

Still burning from

Alt you poured,

Your laughter ‘still’

Rang in ears

Calling me unworthy

I swear,

You whiled

Away with pride

Crushing mine,

I carry the ashes

To this day

Remembering the words

‘You were too easy to sway’

….

Have you experienced something like this before?
