Captured Words

Breakup Text

 

Phone vibrating uncontrollably

Light flashing on and off alerting me of notifications

Unlocked my phone to a simple text

I knew this was coming. Shit, I guessed it.

About time.

I guess I was wondering when you were going to cut the ropes.

I’m so stupid, I should’ve kept up with my monthly horoscopes

You must think I was a joke

Remember those words you provoked me with?

“I love you”

I can’t believe I believed that shit

I guess I was caught in the moment of being in love.

Nerves like butterflies

When you appeared I got hot like summertime

Your love had me higher than a soaring eagle in the sky

I had been warned

But I ignored

I felt so adorned

I could’ve sworn our love was the greatest thing since us being born

Remember when you said:

“We’ll be together forever”

“No one fits you like me. I will always be better”

Sadly those were lies. You were so clever

In the long run the signs became crystal clear

Only answering phone calls if I wasn’t near

My heart was breaking and I was facing my biggest fear

You were lying to me, acting should’ve been your career

You left your phone on the coffee table one day

What a big mistake

Thoughts of going through your phone were circulating through my head

Whatever I  would see would cause me heartache, maybe I should just go to bed

Curious as can be, I checked anyway

No need to be discreet

But my eyes weren’t ready for the deceit

And my heart wasn’t  ready for the defeat

I guess the wise men weren’t lying when they said talk was cheap

Oh how I wanted to weep

When I realized

Our love was only skin deep

I guess my love for you didn’t even matter

So,  my heart was left shattered

Now I’m just a corpse of my old soul

I would never fall in love again, that’s just setting me up to lose control
