A Typical Love Story

Saw the scars on her skin, 
I asked "What's your story"? 
She said it's a story of loving too much. 
I loved my dad when he didn't love me back, 
I loved my mom even though I was always ignored, 
And worst of all I loved a man. 
A few seconds passed without a single blink, 
When the silence was broken and her voice cracked. 
She said have you ever heard the saying 'One person always loves one more than the other.'? 
When he was away the only time I could feel anything was when the blade was sliding against my skin, 
As I encrypted his name into my veins, 
When alcohol pumped through my body, 
When cocaine fuzzed my memory. 
Without him by my side I was more out of place than devils during the day. 
So I opened myself up making my soul a comfortable place for all the devils to stay. 
The days I spent loving him are as hazy as a summer morning fog. 
Now I'm here, 
Where they label me as crazy, 
Where they give me drugs to dope me, 
To try to make me feel happy again, 
As happy as when I was with him.

Damn. A moment please while I pick up my jaw off the floor...

I'm tempted to use the word beautiful, but I feel that would diminish it in a sense. It's a haunting type of beauty that makes me smile even as tears run down my cheek and I lower my eyes in shame. (The title is sublime.)

Very well done. Bravo!

I have chills quite honestly. I can actually relate to this. I have lived this and it was something that was easy for me to see. It touched my soul. Thank you for sharing with us. I really enjoyed reading. Well done. This piece was incredible.
