Here at the center of my world was where you once did reside
in my heart and soul the place you did abide
there was only you no one else the center of my space
now there’s just an empty whole that once was your place
Once the center of my everything I needed nothing more
where no one else had dared to tread before
let you in until there was nothing left of me
but you were only using and I was too blind to see
The very center of me and all that I held dear
my only thought was how to always keep you near
but you were only lying with every breath I took
with every word, every motion, every single look
Now that center left laid waste is filled with someone new
someone who truly loves me not a pretender like you
they give me everything you never did with love and all that’s real
and now at my center once again I truly feel

This was painful. Hope it is not you.

The pretenders! Unfortunately, we’ve all met a few. . . like the repititition here and the use of center as a metaphor. Nice!
