The man created from sand
The Pearl necklace you gifted me has now become a noose around my neck
The jewels you adorned me with have covered the scars you inflicted upon me
Sustenance you filled my belly with yet you starved my soul
Your deprivation of love has left my heart hollow
I now reflect the emptiness in your gaze
Once I shined so bright like fiery coals but you doused me with your scathing resentment
You slaughtered all that is pure and to those who try
Now I am a shell of who I once was
Cast aside on the sandy beach occasionally washed away by the waves
Until I become stepped on and splintered shattered beyond repair
until I slowly deteriorate into the sand that was used to create mankind
