Locked Out Of Your Heart Poem by Patricia Gillaspy

You walked out;
Something you said you'd never do.
The lies you continue to spout;
Why did I ever trust you?

My heart is dying;
I continue trying.
Fighting every restrained breath along the way;
Running, no longer an option, so I hit the floor and pray.

Tears pouring down my face, like rain bursting from the clouds;
Begging God to come down and save me from myself.

You lied, you walked out;
Is this what it's really all about?
I'm just some pawn in your game;
A victim, a slave.

Becoming emotionless to the pit of fire burning inside;
Beating me down, belittling my pride.
I now stand tall;
A rock buried deep down, unable to fall.

My heart was dying;
But then I stopped trying,
Because YOU.... were the one who walked away!
