Bleeding Heart

What has happened to us Once so beautiful and pure A rift steadily growing Not knowing what to do anymore I thought it was true love Never questioned if we would persevere Thought love would conquer all Now my inner fear If I can even call it that My veins rupture Arteries crack Heart is shattered Your words once spoken Can’t be taken back You destroyed me Took my love away Days of anger Spouts of passion Back to fighting Typical news The calm before the storm The only days I can endure The few I don’t abhor Simple little annoyances Causing you to explode Abusing me constantly But no scars No bruises No evidence of your torturous deeds I sit and bleed internally The life draining from my limbs Becoming a puppet No will to live You have the nerve to come back Crawling on your knees Saying “I love you” Eyes shrouded in tears A façade all too familiar One too many times You have become possessed By the devil within Even now As we are apart I cannot escape you Uncontrollable reminiscing A flood of memories Rushes through my mind Returning my fondest memories of you Once you held me Cared for me Loved me Made me feel special Alive Now I am alone Desolate Barren wasteland Empty Heart Crying soul Not even my tears Can wash away This unbearable pain Wounded, And drowning In this sea Of emptiness.
