Love that Aches

For every breath stolen
All my silent tears
And muscles swollen

You took them to graves
Never kind hands
But set them to flames

Thought love was bliss
Only had the kind that hurt
And gentle fists

You took flowers to beds
Never making love
Inside was lust instead

Laughters that cried
Was your only pleasure
Grinning at me as I died

You hurt my heart
Though you liked it
Telling we'd never part

Sorries didn't matter
Because I was always wrong
You only cared to shatter

Tomorrow will be better
But it never came
Smiles turned sadder

I love you was empty
I knew that as much
It spewed disharmony

Your comforts terrifying
Only made me shake
For I knew I was dying

A love that made me ache
Crying until I break
Leaving nothing in my wake

You took my beauty and killed
Held my hand until bruised
Took my everything down hill

I screamed and hit the ground
With no one to hear
Did I even make a sound?

For all the pleads I made
You and no one heard
Until it was too late
