Lacerated

I wrote this after a break up with a woman who captured my heart, without return ....
Benign thou love you gave me,
Forsaking my heart.

A tasteless bland palate,
My essence now torn apart.

No earth under my feet,
Required wishes now dissolved.

Infected without loves cure
To deeply involved.

Beseech my request for a painless existence,
Remove love from the equation.

For a barren heart is not sought,
Curled edge receding from abrasion.

The dagger of despair now trusted deep,
Barbed edges grip my core.

My dreams will flow upon extraction,
A sightless end I now implore.
Has love every broken you views of life?
Yes
No
Only for the time it takes to heal
Left a mark not to be forgotten
An unfortunate lesson but better off for it
