Yeah i guess you won.

By steven winters

Your love was the liquid that filled my thirsty soul

I craved you like a drug my obsession kept me around

The days  between you felt pointless and often went askew 

And the nights in between you dragged on endlessly

I no longer ate because the scent of you filled me 

When i was thirsty i drank in your beauty 
 When we touched the fires of passion snaked through me burning me clean 

I gave you all i had i split my chest open so you could take the heart that beat only for you
You told me i was to needy like a child crying for the nourishment that its mother must provide
You said there was nothing i could give to you that you hadn't already took.
Your sharp words cut through me better than any knife ever could
I screamed for you to just go i told you that your body was just like the soil and that you would willingly spread your legs for any seeds you thought would grow.
When you left for that final time I was sorry for the things i said and how the words became seeds of resentment that took root in your fertile head
When the door slammed and i was once again alone the water of sorrow spilled from my eyes
I fell to the floor in a coughing shaking fit clawing at my chest trying to comprehend the hole that was where my heart should be

    A very special cut above the mundane expressions on this familiar topic of angst and loss, thanks.
