Love
Clenchin the blanket tight,
my hearts ripped to pieces tonight
and my doing-
ruined it,
tore it to pieces leaving acid over my eyes
so I couldn't see you walk away
and now that my eyes
rinsed,
I see clear as day,
your footsteps walking away
further
and further
until you've faded
while my shadow contrasts reality.
Though it's blue
it all turns grey
and blackness creeps in
the lonely hour
when I lay here
with only a congested mind
wondering how you are-
but I don't dare ask
because this hurt i've caused leeches,
it burns the skins vulnerability
and though ive covered up the same scar,
it still jabs, piercing
like the knife that went through my heart when you ended it
because,
I was not ready to lose you,
the one I said I loved.
