Mistake

A terrible mistake
That’s what I made
A small and shallow spirit
I let into my domain

My home and heart I opened
My love and life I shared
He ravaged both in record time
I doubt he ever truly cared

A terrible mistake
That’s what I made
I trusted one not worthy
Only sorrow now remains

So now the pain he’s doubled
To hurt me more is all he knows
Breaking my heart not good enough
He now wishes to wound my soul

Nicely, Softly, Gently

You said nicely
But how nicely can you
Steal my life?

You said softly
But how softly can you
Rape my soul?

You said gently
But how gently can you
Murder my heart?

You violated trust
You damaged spirit
You ravaged love

Now you think to ask forgiveness?
There’s nothing left
To forgive you with
