What sanctuary did
you bring before me?
What laws made you
pour salt upon my wounds?

                                                   Dying never ceased
                                             the aching heart, never
                                              did love pause to rest,
                                                     never did it bleed.

Who do you turn to,
what law do you provide?
What equity of man or
Satan is it that you read?

                                                 I ask these questions,
                                            and thus, pittance in lies.
                                             Easing the beautiful soul
                                     you tarnished upon the bronze.

Why
        are
              you
                     t  o  r  n  ?
  
                                             The tearing was naught
                                            but the shredding of last
                                             vestiges of your morals,
                                          humanity diluted, distilled.

Why do you suffocate
on your sorrows, deceit?
Why do you sigh when
you fall down beside me?

                                                Only two graves befit
                                           the wielder of the subtle
                                             knife, the only ill-gotten
                                        gain is ill-gotten sanctuary.

Have you eyes, but no sight?
Did your hallowed judge,
the one who smites the hammer,
take them as dowry?

                                          Hand in hand with a new
                                       order; you forsook me this.
                                            Lay me down. You have
                                             only yourself to repent.

Why
        are
              you
                     t  o  r  n  ?

                                      And now I have to move on,
                                   not knowing if it will be better.
                                 I doubt I will forget you though.
                                                After all, I loved you.
A direct response to *Ninja-Lemmings poem, Torn: [link] Inspired by, driven by and the total opposite of its counterpart. Enjoy.

It's hard to believe that I was the one that inspired such a piece.

Reading through it made me smile because, as you know, I've been aiming for a while now to work with a visual aspect. I suppose that you, using constant formatting would understand it better than mself, so knowing that my own "Torn" gave birth to this makes me believe I have reached an acceptable level.

Thank you very much for this piece. It means a lot.
