5:08am

I should have never felt those butterflies

and summed it up as a sign

of that messy little thing

everyone calls

love.

I should have turned down the offer

to crash and burn,

because now

I feel only

pain.

I should have known better,

when you carelessly gave away

your attention and affection

to me,

and now,

her.

I should have never let myself fall

into the trap you set up,

giving love a bad name

and adding me

to the list of

things you

broke �"

her heart is next

and I hope it shatters

like the window

through which my fist

tore

when heartbreak turned

into violence of the worst kind.
