IT BREAKS MY HEART

It breaks my heart that a beautiful, young woman would
send me flowers, even after I'd rejected her.
It breaks my heart to have found a face, a body, a loving
heart that I can easily care for and believe in. Yet, I
must kiss goodbye before we have even begun.
It breaks my heart that I have found a lover who turns me
on and makes me laugh and shares my thoughts and wants
to kiss me endlessly, and I must walk away from her -
like I never cared.
It breaks my heart that she is not with me, cuddling me
in the mornings, making plans under the bedcovers for all
our dreams to come true.
It breaks my heart because another man, whose wish
is her command, gladly leads her into an abyss of drugs
and depravity, where lies are common and tomorrow
evaporates on an empty high.
My life with her is cast into oblivion, strangled by smoking
mists of narcotic fear, mental aberration and screaming
jealousy.
Goodbye Baby . . . I hope I find someone again who
wants, needs and loves me like you do.
My world is a spent candy wrapper blowing aimlessly
in an empty street.
