Abused

Some people are users.

Abused

I have been broken.

She shattered my dreams,

stripped me of hope

and left me raped

and naked

on this earth.

She wore me down

until I was deviant,

giving her permission

to stray from the path.

And there,

she made me know

of her power

to destroy my soul.

powerful and very sad, the horror of a love that was used and abused, well written John :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Richard

[sereenaoutloud]

wow this was so strong and sad. You can feel the pain and betrayal laced in your words!
Makes for a great write but so sorry you had to feel this!! :(

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you so much Sereena.

[AaronFreitas]

Man I can relate to these words my friend. Well penned my friend :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks Aaron. I think too many have had such experiences. It seems love is as disposable as a mobile phone these days. Can't wait for next years upgrade!

[andrew mitchell]

One of your better songs John, lol I like Nazereth, a reflective write of what has become

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Glad you like the music Andrew. I have a truly eclectic range when it comes to music. Indeed reflective as are many from the quill of the bleeding hearted 'poet'. Thanks.

[wordman]

so now, it`s time to play

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed WM, indeed. Many thanks. Game on!

[Willard Wells]

Love hurts, but there are others to provide you the true love you deserve. Nice bit of writing there John and I liked you selection of music for this piece. Great writing.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Many thanks Willard. We 'writers' need to get into grief as it is ink for our quills lol

[Willard Wells]

I agree John. Sometimes I am just so happy I cannot write anything. Damn happiness.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh touche! happiness, in fact any emotion, leads our pens to the page.

[Willard Wells]

While any emotion will bring pen to the page, the darker place seems to bring more words to my pen.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Then I am indeed blessed as anything masquerading as emotion bleeds from my nib!
