This Tainted Love

A poem about tainted love.

This Tainted Love

Ripping out my heart,
Sacrificing it to you,
Offering you my life.
A tainted ritual,
perfect for a tainted love.
A love not given back,
For you're a god too
Unkind and inhumane.
You'll leave me broken
Bound by this disease,
This tainted love.
Like the Sun god of the Aztecs
Thirsty for blood
You take and take from me.
My heart ripped from my chest
Is still bleeding at the top
Of this stone temple.
Does this please you?
Can I finally be released of
This tainted love?
