Damaged Heart



You make me feel like I'm not a person by all those broken words you say. They take my soul and shatter it in pieces, and spread them across your way. Each step you take leads you closer to breaking my damaged heart. But I guess that doesn't matter to you, because you're the one who tore it apart. Hide the truth from all the world but soon they will see, what's lying in your heart and what you did to me. Keep your empty promises. And keep your empty lies. Just remember I'm not the one wearing that disguise. I'm trying my best to move on from this faded fantasy but your grin pulls me in and props me on your knee. Your lies keep me here. Something inside of me wants you. But I know it's not the truth because this time me and you are through. Hide the truth from all the world but soon they will see, what's lying in your heart and what you did to me. Keep those empty promises and keep those empty lies. But just remember I'm not the one wearing that disguise.

About this poem

I wrote this when I was going through a divorce. I initiated the divorce and knew it was the right move but I still loved the person he was before it fell apart. I had to learn to let that go so I could move on.
