Tears streaming down my cheeks,
lying in bed facing the wall,
a heartbroken man
who had never felt so small.
You laughed as you told me
we were finished,
speechless I just watched
as my love was relinquished.
All this time you were playing
me for a fool
even as I treated you
like a precious jewel.
Whatever you wished for
I tried to make it come true
even down to getting your name
on a stupid tattoo.
Now I am marked for life
both inside and out
after you delivered
this unexpected knockout.
