LESS THAN NOTHING

Contest entry

Less than nothing is how you made me feel,
and how deeply that hurt me inside.
I lived in a world that was surreal,
one in which I no longer hide.

Once I felt happiness, and my heart did sing.
Soared with a free spirit and believed in dreams,
until you entered my life and destroyed everything.
Heartaches all that is left to me, or so it seems.

Less than nothing, I strive to regain what was lost,
and intend to carry on like I know that I should.
Sometimes love comes with an extravagant cost,
especially when it turns out to be no good.
