You took my heart

You took my heart,
You took my life.
You were my everything,
And now I am nothing.

Forever at your mercy,
A willing victim I am.
Abuse, always abuse,
But where is the tender affection?

A hole is left,
Where my heart used to fit.
You took that the first day,
When words flew and hatred was bountiful.

I hated you so you took my heart,
You hated me so I took yours.
Tit for tat, that’s what they say,
But then the words changed to fists.

And now you are gone,
I should be rejoicing but I can’t.
You were my everything,
And now I am nothing.
