Soul Sequester

I tried to see me in your eyes
with the dread of the damned.
I tried to keep hold of the illusion
wanted it to become my reality.
put my own words in your mouth,
vainly hoping it would make them real
but the ashes are in my mouth
not yours,
dry and gritty.
They choke me with their honesty,
making me gag on the knowledge
that I am once again betrayed.
I handed you my heart in trust,
and in horror I watch you
carve it out with the sharp
edge of your tounge.
Angry words, that eat me inside out,
carelessly rend my soul asunder
then nonchalantly toss the mangled,
battered fragments
in my face.
You,
yes you,
the sequester of souls,
collector of hearts
with the icey cold stares
you said you were the real thing
but you lied
with your words filled
with saccharine emotion
you said you were real
