Heartless
December 13, 2018
Ink
Dashing off the page
Seeping into my soul
Soul
Heart
What’s the difference
My soul is fed by words
Powered by those who survived
Those who wrote
My heart is broken
Torn apart by misery
Burnt by lost hope
Taken from those like you
Yet my soul
My soul keeps my alive
Keeps me happy
Keeps me running
Working
Thriving
Surviving
Better than you’ll ever be
You stole my heart
You ripped it from my chest
You can keep it
It’s corrupt now
I don’t need it
I have soul

I wrote this peice after I broke up with my emotionally abusive boyfriend. The relationship had started out well but turned bad fast, I felt used and turned to writing to cope.
