The feeling of a someone coming into your relationship and ruining everything.

She came in like a wreaking ball

you swept me away

and told me to stay there

for I was in the way

you say I over reacted

as she sat and stayed

I lay in the rubble from

what my heart 

was

what it’s no longer

for she came in like a wreaking ball

and threw me away

    A well-expressed, heartbreaker of a poem
    Edit…
    “wreaking ball…” should be “wrecking ball…” (three times…)
    “what my was…” something missing here “My what?”
    ” through me away…” s/b ” threw me away…”
