Dear you

Dear you,

You have hurt me deeply   

Everything about me is suffering

Coated with anger only to reveal the sadness underneath

Stained in red, oh what my life has come to be

Can’t seem to get out of bed my bones to weak to move

My heart and mind can’t agree on what to speak

You expect an apology and so do I

 

Broken promises, broken bones

Both hurt just as bad

You have no idea the pain you have caused me

It hurts the most when you were the one I cared about

“I’ll never leave you, I promise”

Yet that's what you did

Leaving me in the aftermath of it all   

You knew I was broken

I was in need of someone

I thought you were the one

Silly me

 

Am I alive or just breathing?

I'm left a mess without you

This meaningless promise to you

Meant everything to me

You seem to not care

Avoiding me like an author avoids cliches

Did I ever mean anything to you?

 

In the end I lay broken while you live on

you smile and laugh

I die and crash 

I was stained red and forever will stay stained

Goodbye my lovely friend

You always meant the world to me

 

Sincerely,

Me
