Thank You Poem

Thank You For The Pain

Author: Dana Tyrrell

See this heart 'twas built from stone
My palace, my fortress and mine alone
Left empty and in ruins

In the dark and disarray
The ghosts of my past, now here they stay
This wasn't always it's state
Until one fateful day

When with shock and a gasp
You strangeled my heart with your venomous grasp
You thrust it upon the floor and thus proclaimed: 
That my soul was tortured, crippled and maimed

Dropping a glare of spite as you fled
I stood and watched as my lonely heart bled
Replace this weak heart with a new one instead
A palace of stone now stands in it's place
A monument to lonlieness.
