Wounds Do Not Heal


Dear Love,

 

You asked why I cannot love anymore,

why my heart is so full of hatred,

why I cannot see anything but death

 

Imagine the painstake of a knife

The feeling of betrayal is simple

It feels like someone is stabbing your heart

multiple times without any mercy

It is the feeling of your heart hurting,

beating way too fast than it should

 

Betrayal is being told you are not good enough

It is being told that someone you love,

does not feel the same way you do

It is when someone leaves you

It is when someone cuts the deepest wound from your heart,

takes the freshest and purest love you can give,

And break it without a second thought

 

Betrayal is simple

It turns the most innocent, purest version of yourself

to a hated, disgusting you

And you cannot do a thing

All you can do is watch,

behind the closed bars

 

Because the thing is you cannot do anything

Betrayal is never planned by you

It happens when you least expect it

And all you can do is watch like a bystander

Only time can control this feeling

Or you will be forever held behind bars watching

 

Betrayal is our deepest enemy and all we can do

is watch it slowly torture us,

until we cannot feel anymore,

until we place ourselves and our emotions on hold permanently

For then is when betrayal will truly leave us permanently

 

Yours truly,

Heartbreak
