Love Poem: Soul-Loss

Soul-Loss

hurtful words flung out
batted around by anger
stabbed through the heart

crumpled in a heap
screams echo in my head
sobs escape my mouth

only wanting to be loved
for who I am now
desperate for understanding

he doesn’t care
not one tiny bit
shredding my self-esteem

left alone to die
crucifying my soul
unable to self-resurrect
