(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.
