Heart Breaker

[Jabble524]

Heart Breaker

You trusted me with your heart
And I smashed it to pieces
You wanted a soul mate
And I wanted to play Casanova

I could break a thousand hearts
And still not come close
To the pain I caused you
When I stabbed you in the back

I left you broken and bleeding
In a desolate wasteland of despair
Cold and lonely, I watched you shiver
As the love faded from your eyes

Rationalization is the antidote to a guilty conscience
So as I found carnal delights and sweet ecstasy
Between the sheets with strangers
I told myself, all is fair in love and war

But time and karma are strange bedfellows
And the charm and seduction
Of my cult of personality
Began to wither and fade

On warm summer nights, I lay beneath the sheets
My lover asleep beside me
As the moonlight dances through the bedroom window
I know why I’m cursed to shiver

I could offer a half-hearted mea culpa
Or simply the truth
That vanity is almost irresistible
Once you’ve had a taste

Wow Jabble, this really struck me... Your feelings and emotions (I'm assuming they are your own) are so well-presented in what you wrote, I could really feel your pain when I read it.

I've also read some other stuff you wrote and I really like it

Thanks JanuaryStar. Writing has always been very much like therapy for me. It seems to be a good way to sort through and figure out my feelings and emotions. I appreciate you taking the time to read my poetry. Hope all is well with you.

That was very beautiful. I usually don't post in here, but, credit where it's due.
