Her World


Her world started to fall apart

The concrete crumbled under her feet

The bricks fell from the house walls

The sky started falling in chunks

She just watched the world around her die

 

The love of her life walked out

There was no reason given

Only a direct goodbye

A goodbye that shook her whole world

 

She planned her life around this person

She made them the center of her world

Her college plans

They were made based on how from how far away they would be

 

The last thing she said to them

The last thing she screamed

She yelled that she hated them

She gave them the power

 

She died inside that night

She would never be the same

A part of her was missing

A part of her was ripped out

She didn’t know what to say to get them back

She just watched as they walked away

 

That night her heart shattered

She broke down and cried for hours

She had to call her best friend

Not even she knew what to do

The pain was just too much to bear

 

She screamed at God

She yelled at the moon

She didn’t understand what had gone wrong

So the silence consumed her

The anger made it even worse

So she sat all night and wrote this poem

 

She wrote it with the emotion raw

She wrote this with the tears streaming down her face

She knew if she wrote it in the morning it’d be a different story

She’d forgive them and make excuses

She’d feel different and the story would change

 

She started to unravel that night

She fell deep into depression

Her heart was missing a piece

That piece would never return

She was nauseous and lightheaded

Her heart was beating too fast

She felt the blood in her ears

 

She couldn’t smile

She couldn’t laugh

If she did it wasn’t real

Her heart was broken thanks to you

Her world crumbled down

You would never know the difference

She wouldn’t show you if you begged

So don’t just believe if she smiles around you that it’s real

Her heart was crushed and you just walked away

She knew you would never stay

So if you come back she has one word for you

Goodbye

 

But she knew if you came back

She would make the same mistake again

She’d take you back

So please I beg you

Don’t
