Broken Bleeding Heart

“ I eat every word, suspended, transfixed by you, I’m losing myself” quote from poem, Infatuated by me

Sooty bitter ashes in my mouth
the taste of our old love, dead
another wave of pain hits me
I weep, I look at photos of us, weep
hear our songs, weep
sadness engulfs every pore of me
devastated, broken, oblivion 
ghosting through life
imploded heart bleeds
you don’t love me anymore 
I feel as if my spirit fled

     Why do I emote 
     by my pretty little cuts
     give me mindful tears
