You Broke Me (edited)

You broke me.

last night,
you shattered
everything
about me.
All with your
stare you know.

Those perfect green
orbs of hatred and envy
burn through my
inner core.

The way those lashes
flutter and flash
blazing contempt,
sending electric
jolts up my spine.

When that sight
beyond sight
is torn from my
soul, it takes
a piece with it.

You withered my being,
shattered my soul,
tore out my heart,

You just broke me.
