Disintegrate

April 12th you walked away
Now I can't forget that day.

Months of refusing to let go
Tore me apart from head to toe.

Last night I finally told you goodbye
And last night the final piece of my heart died.

I'm trying so hard to leave you behind
But the memories of you won't vacate my mind.

You left me all alone
Sitting in the dark staring at the phone.

You said you loved me was it all a game? How can you live without any shame?

It takes everything in me to muster a smile as the shards of my heart fall to a pile.

I could put them back together, but the pain isn't worth losing the blood in my veins.

I should have ran, but now it's too late
You're moving on while I disintegrate.

Heartbreaks suck. the hardest part for most people is not that the other person has left, but for them to move on with their lives. I can see a theme of betrayal in the poem. the persona feels betrayed by the lover who has left, as shown in this line: 'You said you loved me was it all a game? How can you live without any shame?', The poem has a tone despair,regret and disbelief. nice piece, very emotional and the issues you are addressing are issue that most people can relate to
