Acid of Love

by Chelsea   Apr 3, 2010


Blood splatters on your hands as you twist the knife another time in my heart
i scream out but all you can hear is your name
the blood looks black on your pale skin
marks of a soul left to rot
you pull out the knife as you let me fall
the cold floor meets my face as my heart drags in a gasping breath
trying to heal a wound that cannot be healed
trying to mend years of abuse
but it cannot
you reach down and kiss my forehead as you speak
"in reality we aren't going to be together"
those words..
i contort on the concrete
a seizure of loneliness takes over my body
i try to scream again as the blood coats my body
like acid it burns my flesh with the shattered dreams and broken promises you made
i cannot escape the pain
it envelopes me
my entire being
everyday reminding me of you
and everything you took with you when you walked away..
