Take Them Back

My heart sank with every excruciating detail
Sentence after sentence it degrades
Each word like needles in my skin

Special moments drift to trivialities
I can’t believe what I’m hearing
No remorse or concern as to the pain they induce

The discomfort becomes all-encompassing
Never have I heard something so disheartening
I slump over defeated by the narrative

Nothing registers anymore
I lay in bed devoid of anything
It was all taken from me
