Rising Above

January 6, 2010
By Anonymous

The time we spent,


the look in your eyes,




the words you spoke.
Fake. Faulty. False.

Placed in front of me for only one reason;
a reason I was to naïve to see.
This reason never came from your heart.

Your heart, that I thought held all the answers to my prayers,


your heart, that I thought was mine,




your heart, that I thought loved me for me.







Obsidian. Obscure. Obligated.

The wishes and desires came from a place that was not your heart.
They say women think with their hearts and men think with other parts;
nether regions and pleasures were the only reasons you kept me around.

I am no longer blind.


I see the truth of the matter.




I am heartbroken.




Aching. Alone. Alive.

A side of me has been put away for further inspection;
you will not be the one who sees me shattered.
I will rise again, you will regret, I will forget.
