Could You?
One smile was all it took
Who thought a heart could break this quickly?
One glance, one stare
Did you even remember that I was there?
Your eyes locked on her face
Who thought a heart could crumble into decay?
There are so many things I want to say
So many things I want to scream in your face
So many tears I tried to hide
When I said I felt better, could you tell that I lied?
Could you tell that this is eating away at me?
The image won't go away
I try to remind myself of happiness and glee
But I remember when you were with her, and not me
Now you tell me you love me, I trust you with that
And I want you to know th

She made mistakes in the past
She only leaves at night, but she did not want this life
And no one knows that, every night she cries
Under sheets of her bed, regretting all she has ever done
And that her only good friend is her hidden knife
Mistakes when she was young will her hunt now
Because all she did was drugs and guys from the crowd
And all her so called friends have left her down
All she needed was love, why would you make her frown?
Because every boy she laid with, only fed her lies
She thought that it was love, so she would always try
She could’v used someone, but you people left her alone
Now she’s walking on the streets, because she’s us

You Left Me Stronger
You Left Me Stronger:
Hey there, it's been awhile, do you remember me?
I guess you might not, since I wasn't very important to you.
You know, I spent so many days thinking about - what I did wrong
I questioned if maybe, I was at fault or if I was screwed up.
I thought a lot about the things you said...
The things that were my fault, my problems.
I took them to heart at first, but then I realised you were wrong.
I realised that you are selfish and ugly on the inside.
On the surface you pretended to care, but like a cancer;
You amputate someone the moment you think they've gone bad.
You hide from the rigours of life and only emerge l

UPDATE: 
Made it through round three of the tournament! 
My fourth entry into the poetry tournament...
This is my entry for the third round of #poetry-book's Scratch That Poetry Tournament. As the rules stated, the participants could write about bondage... without including
The theme for this round was bondage. It was meant to be a fun, easy one... and it was for someone like me.
In conjecture, the piece had to be written as a haiku as well. By saying lover to lover I mean to say... I need to be punished - by saying but I am your prisoner I mean to say... I am yours to command.
And by saying chained up in the dark... well. I'm not the dominatrix here - am I?
Please let me know what you think. I'd love some feedback on this.

Overall Vision
Originality Technique ImpactYour haiku was just as dark as you usually write, but was subtle enough to get the job done.
So as I found, the syllable count was correct. Appreciably so.
What I love most about this work wasn't the subtlety of it, but the opposite; this is a work which, if taken literally, is saddening...
I interpret it this way: the lover is locked up in the heart of her lover, as a result of which no matter how far she goes, she is always held back... because she is forever bound in the prison of that particular lover spoken thereof.
BUT, if taken subtly, it could mean a grieving loss for the particular person who is writing, keeping in mind that chained up in the dark could mean "your loss has left me without words to describe how I am".
The theme of bondage is clearly portrayed. And this haiku is good.
Well done <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
" title=" (Smile)"/>P.S. The emphasis on "your" and the italic on "lover" and the underline on "dark" are the reasons why I say that it could be taken at face value, subtly, or in any form (be it perverse or slightly inhumane). And they have been well used here.
