You grabbed the scissors made for your left hand and cut me out of your
life. You surgically removed me so well because you are a doctor.
You took a leaf out of your favorite book and drove a stake
through my heart. When you were little, you wanted to
be a street mime, so you won’t talk as practice.
You broke my heart with your beat-up
baseball bat autographed by Ryan
Howard. You’re always the
one to take out the trash
which is why you
dumped
me.

the idea was she's wishing for them to get back together, but it didn't happen. But yeah, it's not that clear, i just wanted to have an interesting title that would make people want to read it :)

This is really really great! I love the shaping of the words, it really creates a feel of decline. It was so simple, yet said so much at the same time. Definitely keep writing, you have talent :)

impossible... but it isnt...... no its impossible.... but then i suppose your the first person to actually make it true. you captured the torment of realtionships in life and being dumped. its like you placed every sarcastic or murphy's law about love in your poem. simply.left.speechless. congrats. i've. read. many. poems. but. only. few. like. yours. can. capture. reality. :) ;) ur very smart about th topic like you've suffered heartbreak. might i ask what inspired you to write this poem. also i would really appreciate it if you please view my poems
