Left Alone:

The vale you wear
is but a thin disguise
to your ruby lips
of seductive lies
spoken softly
utterances of sweetness
devotional idol-ship
as if the only one
now left broken
laying torn strewn
across the floor
as if irrelevant tales
of what was before
like the many shards
of the broken mirror
where I held you so
in all that was you
when that moment
all I wanted needed
was your very words
now unwanted unneeded
left in this mired world
of utter confusion
as I'm led in state
for all to process
with the words
the heart grew fonder
but the body broke
for surely
too much love
will kill you
