With cold eyes you judge me, <br />casting guilt and hurt in my teeth. <br />You burn me with words, <br />freeze me with your touch. <br /> <br />You do not understand me, <br />you never have. <br />You always played up to me, <br />stringing me along and along. <br /> <br />The strings were like barbed wire, <br />your lies making them strong as steel. <br />They bit deep drawing blood, <br />as you danced me around. <br /> <br />Now I lay broken <br />cast down to the ground. <br />You lost your amusement in me <br />and threw me away like garbage. <br /> <br />No one wants what you have left, <br />no one wants the emptiness inside me. <br />I weep in the corner <br />for the life you stole from me.<br /><br />Brian Hinckley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/with-cold-eyes-you-judge-me/
