A Dark Love Poem by Prince ....

A gentle kiss;

a silent wish

A black cloud,

descending all around

You looked me in the eyes

You told me dark lies

You used me

and abused me

I was like a silent lamb,

trying desperately to understand

I watched in terror,

heartbreak could not be clearer,

as you morphed into someone I never knew

Your words, like venom, pierced my soul

Your anger wildly out of control

I spoke softly with gentle deliverance

I loved you despite your ignorance

You slapped me across the face

A sign of hate and disgrace

You pushed me up against the door

Said you didn't want me anymore

Pain clung to me like a leech

With tears streaming down my cheeks,

I kissed you one more time

And said this very line,

'no matter what you do, I will always love you.'

with that I did depart,

with a lost and broken heart
