9. Obscure Star

"Obscure Star"

For she's torn inside,

numerous tears she cried.

Her heart

played like a puppet on strings,

crashed into smithereens

and then left outside to wither

to become a feast for the vultures.

For her loving heart is used,

Brutally abused;

treated like a junked chattel

before being throwned in a puddle.

He is a fool,

emetic,

pathetic,

reprobate,

degenerate,

Utterly stupid and heartless;

someone who couldn't distinguish a goddess

from a gaudy harlot.

Didn't he know what he'd just lost,

whom he'd just toss?

Didn't he know he'd traded a diamond

for a handful of  tawdry coals?

For he had wrecked her heart

in many ways you'd call swart.

He took advantage of her naivete,

stole her innocence in a sway

and, now, she's hurt,

insecure despite her real worth.

Didn't she know,

while she cried

like a broken angel

for the blackhearted devil;

from afar, someone worships her

as if she is heaven's only shining star
