She

She used my words against me
When she read between the lines
Fabricated feelings 
Ignoring all the signs 

Am I just a ghost?
A shadow of a man
The shell a pretty wrapping
To play with when you can

My words born from my soul
Infused with ambitious hope
Created out of love for you 
Learning how to cope

Please take the time to listen
Please understand my heart
Don't cast me to the fetid pool
And rip my life apart.
