(I recently went through a bad break up and after a lot of pain, crying, and reflecting, I decided to write a poem about how I feel)

Lub and Dub Were Never One Anyway/ Crush My Hearts Lock With Your Key

pain

heart clenches

another blood stain

heartache to come again

-

love, trust, faith

undenied principles

cherished parts of this relationship

not to be confused with

anything less than forever yours

-

until the lies poured out

of your mouth

spraying, spitting fire up

you let me down

now I can't get up

you stole my heart and its lock

instead you, to it, unlock

you crushed it with your key and a rock

-

a rock made of diamonds

to slice my heart

and hell, its approval, dons

-

lub and dub are separated now

you never wanted me to make it out

rebel yell sound

echoes for hope of redeeming

no more leaving

I beg

don't let me die instead

I hate to love the way you make me bleed

-

I'll still dream the way I used to dream

of you and me

a life, a house of gold

kids

until we grow old

-

but you paused the show

freeze frame of me alone at the altar

and you walk away, slow

leaving me alone

-

now hear me scream out profanities

screw their thoughts that this was blasphemy

my eyes bleeding like red waterfalls, not to cry

my sanity receding

my nails cutting trails down my skin

fingertips sinking into my chest

this is what happens when you win

I'll rip out the heart you stole

and returned damaged

never again whole

blood will drip down from my organ filled palm

as I tear out my eyes

with the other hand

damn your lies

as, with my index, I scratch out the eyes

you used to love

don't look away, or above

look at me

directly

as the blood dribbles and crawls

down to form tattoos on my skin

this is what happens when you win

-

why did you have to lie?

throw my love aside?

no reason why

but him, the one better than I

-

your lips speak, deceiving

now my head is reeling

with tears held in

they'll make my head cave in

this is what happens when you win

-

my heart in two

my body, a mess

drowning in my own blood

as in my ears, screams flood

maybe it's time one of us give in

this is what happens when you win

-

I hope you know how you hurt me so

and that you'll never forget the look in my eyes

as you let me go

and I ripped out my heart, saying

"might as well take this with you when you go."

I hope you remember.

It was one hell of a show.
