IMPASSE (Revised)

I used to be at peace but now pain is all I feel Your pointed words pierce my soul the wounds  too deep to heal I once thought that you loved me too much to say such things but now I know I must have been foolish and that realization stings I could never turn the tables my nature is just not that cruel so silent I sit wondering why I continue to play the fool How can you act as if it all meant nothing and expect me to just do the same my heart is heavy with emptiness and I've only myself to blame For being so ready to love again when hate is all that I've known for getting back up on the horse again when I knew that I'd only be thrown Now what of this weary heart of mine does it dare to dream again or should it just strike out on its own without a foe or a friend

Additional Notes:
I revised an old poem and tried to take some of the typical wording out this time to give it a whole different feel, but still keeping some of the rhyming and lyricism intact. Tell me what you think! I welcome all feedback, and compare it to the original if you get the chance!
