Her body was broken
Her heart was stolen
She loved and she lost
She lost not to death but to greed
And it was a greed that consumes
that kills, that changes

Her love was taken away
as quickly as it was received
It was only meant to use her, and use her it did
It worked, it worked so well she had nothing left to salvage after the flames
There was nothing left of the women there once was
She loved to quickly, to blindly and with her ignorance came pain
A pain that ruined her
A pain that was to strong
A pain that broke her heart

Well this poem wasn't intentionally about love at first well at least not a romantic love. Originally it was going to be about family love but I decided to just go with it.
