Aftermath of a broken heart

I was just your pawn

a piece to play

someone to love

then throw away.

Your cuts ran deep along my heart

the same one that I had to restart

draw red lines along my wrists

the metals love removes your kiss.

Deep into the night I cry

my tears bring with them a lullaby

I wish you didn't say goodbye

I'm left alone to wonder why.

We still meet from time to time

you trigger an earthquake in my mind

my heart beats too fast

as I slip from time

watching as my life rewinds.

I forget how to speak

how to breathe or what to think.

Around you I become someone new

not the me that I am but the me that you knew.

I just want to lash out at you

you shattered me when you said we were through.

Cut me off like your spit ends

Just act like we were never friends

you abandoned me when I had struggles

as I drowned I lost my bubbles

my air was gone I couldn't breathe

you were numb and couldn't see

the damage you'd done or how you left me

you thought you won but that wasn't the ending.
