So Alone

You left me beaten and broken. Bleeding and bruised. You left me alone. You ran and found solace in another women’s arms. As I lay here defeated and alone. So alone. So cold. Your touch still crawls on me. I lay there letting my fingers slide through the dust of my heart. Why, oh why, did I have to let you in? Why, oh why, did I have to bare my all. Why did you take my heart, and whisper sweat nothings in my ear? Why did you do it, knowing you had no intentions of keeping it? I cry and scream though no tears or sound comes. I gather the dust of my heart and slowly rise. Because once again, like every damn time in my life, I rise alone. I pick myself up, and try to salvage what’s left of my destruction. I stand tall, though legs are weak. I stand strong, though I crumble. I will do this alone. I will heal alone. So alone.
