Once upon a time,
I thought you were my forever.
But it turns out,
We were never meant to be together.

I tried so hard,
To make it work.
But in the end,
You left me to rot in the dirt.

I fell deeper and deeper,
Into a black hole of sadness.
Yet your intention remained,
Only of malice.

You tore me apart,
Piece by piece.
Then left me in the wilderness,
For the lions to eat.

I felt you stab at my heart,
With a really sharp knife.
Over and over again,
Trying to end my life.

I’m hurt and I’m broken,
And I’m dying inside.
You have no idea,
How much I’ve cried.

From the time you broke my heart,
To when you rubbed salt in my wounds.
I should have known,
That dating you would only make me lose.

My happiness,
Joy,
Optimism,
And pride.

My heart,
My soul,
My dignity,
And my stride.

You are the cause,
Of my shattered heart.
And now whenever I see you,
I fall apart.

Next time you break me,
And rip me to shreds.
Please warn me in advance,
So I can plan ahead.

I’ll clear my schedule,
For the rest of the year.
And spend all that time sobbing,
Until I appear.

As dead as a body,
Buried in a grave.
I give up.
I am done being brave.
