At Least Tell Me This

Eaten…. Consumed…. Devoured…. Munched…. And then swallowed as if I were just a piece of food Like the Gingerbread Man Except that He could run as far as he wanted However, I am a different story I could never run away from you As much as I might have wanted too I loved too much I loved too hard I loved too deep That to keep from hurting you I hurt myself I let you hurt me Again, like the Gingerbread Man I was eaten piece by piece But the Gingerbread Man was lucky His death was fast and easy He was helpless, powerless I, on the other hand Was not as lucky as he was I was eaten slowly Being enjoyed by my consumer And I was not helpless I could have run away Just like the Gingerbread Man But I didn’t Did I? I chose to stay I chose to stay for you But what did you care? Did you even notice? Did you even realize that you were tearing me apart? Did you hear the sounds as you ripped me into pieces? First my legs and feet Disabling me Preventing me from leaving your gravitational pull Then, my arms, and hands Again immobilizing me When I wanted to caress you, hold you, touch you I couldn’t There was no way After, it was the rest of my body apart from my head When you took this part away from me It was as if…. As if I was trapped Trapped to never leave again Never to leave the place I was at But of course At that time I was clueless I was in love With you I didn’t want to leave Later on you swallowed my head Leaving me without any thoughts You were my head, my brain The decisions were made for me At all times But did I care? No I loved, I treasured But then you left You left me there I thought you would have come back I thought you would have come back to finish your snack But you didn’t You left me there alone to tend for myself with no body, no brains, no will power You took all that I had You took my love You took my soul You took my power You took my will You took…. Me And with only the scraps left there unattended I was left to die Alone But I wasn’t scared to die I wanted to die I wanted to die for one reason and one reason only Not because you left me Not because you stole me Not because I was alone But because of what you left me with You left me with nothing but one organ One emotion One feeling You left me with that one organ that when broken could never be cured You left me broken hearted You left my heart on the ground to get stomped on To get destroyed You left me with a hole in my heart A black hole that sucked all that was left of me and led to my demise Now I am not me And never will be again And I wonder now What if you had at least left my fragile heart on a chair? On a cushion? On a shelf? Would someone see that I was broken? Would someone see that I needed to be fixed? Would someone care enough To pick me up and console me? Care for me? Love me? But I will never know will I? And it is all because of you And to think I gave you my everything I gave you my all And for nothing in return Not even an apology What I got was my soul and heart Left there on the floor To die But I have one important question to ask you At least tell me this…… Did you enjoy it? Or in other words Did I taste better than the Gingerbread Man? I hope I did I hope that with all my effort All my strength All my love My entire endeavor I could have tasted better than the Gingerbread Man So…. Are you going to tell me? Was I a good treat? I really need to know
