Soul Destroyer

by Baby Rainbow   Jul 24, 2018




I rummage through all of the crumpled and torn pages
of a once perfect romance,
searching for a reason why you don't want to know me any more.

You led me to believe that I was safe under your protection,
and for a while, your love did keep me safe through the dark.

I'm remaking the story with paper-cuts on my heart.
I'm cutting out the truth and piecing it together,
kicking myself for being too blind to see you tearing me apart.

I'm cutting out all of the fake promises
and all of the gifts of love you threw my way,
wondering how I could ever be so reckless with my heart;
again.

I ridicule myself for ever thinking you could have been my superhero,
when all you became was my soul-destroyer,
my heart-breaker.

This time, I am rewriting the story without stumbling words.
The ink will not deny the truth,
and flames will burn away every piece of evidence
that we ever collected of us!
