When It Hurts...
You took my heart
And shredded it to pieces
You were my kryptonite
My only weakness
You were the light in my darkest hour
My life of one
Was now ours.
A while ago I divided my heart into two
And I secretly placed half of it inside of you
We will always be in sync
with every beat in my chest
We are internally linked...
July 19th, “I swear to god I’m about to kill myself” it read
As I sleep unknowingly in my bed
Last night you went too far
Your actions were just bizarre
With every cut
I felt it too
But you couldn’t tell
Your numbed, intoxicated pain
Hurt me like hell
I watched as you digged deeper,
I saw the Slippery Slope of destruction
Getting steeper and steeper
As I pleaded for you to stop
You turned and looked at me
With a stare I never forgot.
Dark and cold
And not the person I knew
And I realized there was nothing I could do
July 19th, “and its all your fault,
I couldn't handle another person abandoning me” it read
As I lay asleep unknowingly in my bed
The cuts you made
I got it twice as bad
Theres no turning back
The deed was done
So I just laid there helplessly
In a pool of our blood
And at that moment
I drifted off into an endless sleep
I carried the promises
You were too weak to keep
I buried them within me
Because thats where our love will forever be
I wrote you this letter
So you can understand
You survived...
Due to half of my heart in your hand
As you can see
You weren’t killing yourself
But in all actuality
you have killed me
July 19th “ I’ll see you in Heaven” it read
As I prepared for death unknowingly in my bed
