Scars of Lust
I didn’t recognize how often you lingered in my mind
The thought of you in my head appeared so divine
This handsome mysterious soul I was yet to meet
Didn’t know you’d leave me for ransom and feeling of defeat
Your brown hair and gazing hazel eyes it was obvious a relationship with you was setup for demise
Your personality trait was an egoistic wall
My empathetic heart was wishing for it to fall
Our eyes lock on the first meet
I know the day I laid eyes on you is the day you’d sweep me off my feet
We both knew we can make our hearts melt
But only one of us can accept the realization of what was felt
I see the box you lock your past and emotions in
I did not have a key to open you up so I used a Bobby pin
We didn’t have the most perfect first impression
For we acted out our admiration with lusty aggression
Your eyes spoke to me screaming in pain
My desire to save you only left me in vain
You didn’t allow me to give you the second chance I wanted
But after everything the memories left us both haunted
I never meant to ruin you but you left me no choice
I had to stand up for myself and raise my voice
What else was I supposed to do
I knew you planned for us to continue
But after you knew what I had done it was final, we had been through
A closing chapter of what we both didn’t want to end
For all there is to blame is us diving off the deep end
Neither of us start with baby steps to progress
Which is why our relationships always end up a mess
Our hearts consisted of betrayal and distress
We were incapable on filling each others voids, nonetheless
Next time maybe it’s your emotions you should express
Not your desire to dive into me with your mind on lust
That’s how you turn a good opportunity we had quickly to dust
I brushed off the dirt you left me in and walked away
But at the end of the day you were the one ashamed
Not by choice but used by force
For I was not the one who got away but the one who made you feel remorse
I am not one to be played or used like the others
You left trauma in the minds of future beautiful mothers
Lust and substance is what you crave
At the end you have nothing to save
I heard your life story and I know what you're about
But your lack of human empathy leaves you emotionally in drought
I wanted to save you and allow you to see
That life doesn’t have to be this hard, take my hand, come with me
But you didn’t have to look far to see where the problem was coming from
You wonder what stands in your way, you are the only one
The train has left, the opportunity escaped
I just hope I don’t leave you lying at night wide awake
For that is what you've done to me when I try to erase our memories
I question if I’d ever hear back or receive any apologies
For my last response to you was a public attack
A heartless beast I gained a connection with
Your untamed mind is not one I should’ve reckoned with
So you go your way and I go mine
But just know the thought of you continues to linger in my mind

For those of you who wish to understand the poem in a more direct manner, I am writing about my highschool crush who decided to give me a chance one day. Our first time locking eyes felt as if it was a soul connection, however after getting to know him, his heartbreaking past didn't allow him to come off so open. He prioritized sex in our relationship and once I finally realized what he had done to me was rape, I decided to come out with my story on twitter, only to find out he had done the same to other girls I had known vaguely. He saw my exposure of him and never spoke to me again. I knew what I did was right but I still wonder if it's wrong that I fantasize him coming back and apologizing and admitting the feelings I know he had for me, just as I had felt the same for him. It feels forbidden but I knew leaving was the right thing to do. Even though our relationship was built off lust, we stayed for the deeper unexplainable feeling of happiness we gave eachother, only to be left with scars on how things ended abruptly. I guess you can say he was my twin flame...
