My Heart is at the Bottom

Folder: 
Posterity Early Bad Stuff

You keep hurting me
Keep pushing the pins in
Keep twisting the pain around
Around my heart

Stop the sickness
Stop the pain
I don't hate you
The way you say you love me
I don't love you
The way you hate me.

Let go, let it be
It can't go anywhere
But to the bottom
Where it now resides

My heart is at the bottom
My heart is at the bottom of a well
Way down in blue darkness
It resides
Battered and torn
By the beating of your love.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I found this tucked in a folder, a reminder of my divorce over 10 years ago. A reminder that I will never be down there again...at least not tattered and torn from abuse.
