I wrote this poem about a love that never leaves you, but breaks you a little more every day.

I feel you in my gut. Twisting, crawling. In my rib cage. Nothing hurts more than broken ribs they say. I feel you in my veins. Pumping, bursting. Blood stains my skin. In my eyes… burning you away with your disguise. Yeah, I can’t say I’ll miss those brown eyes. Can you feel my in your lungs? Eating and constricting. Oh I’m sorry, can’t you breathe? Do you feel me in your blood? Yeah, don’t be fooled by this pretty face. I attack like poison. Did they not warn you it would hurt this much? Yeah your so handsome, but your so naive. So I ripped out my heart and I started to heave. Bleeding out every memory. Forget him, he didn’t mean a thing! Except that he meant everything! Please just stop torturing me. Could I torture you? Was I ever your everything? Or did you just never “start” lying? Does she love you like I did? You can fool everyone but you. Oh I know how you loved these angelic lips. Like fire and ice when we kissed. Your words, not mine. So how does it taste? Those awful lies inside your mouth. You sure did love to spit them out. Oh could I infest your thoughts? Did you ever care that much? You had me thinking I knew anything about love. Does your head hurt when you think of me? Would you ever in your loneliest dream? I’d like to forget you, repressed in a memory. Yeah, I swear I wont miss those “beautiful” hands. And you were perfect… a perfect liar, that is. I wish you’d prove me wrong. So instead, I swear I’ll spill your guts. And no, I don’t mean secrets. But organs and blood. Yeah gruesome like that. I’d hate to leave a stain, but I’d love to see you bleed. Half as bloody as you bled me. Half as broken as you broke me. No wake up call, you’ve distorted my reality. Oh lets break now. Tell me baby… can you scream? My favorite nights I’m killing you in a dream. Before you could sew yourself in my seams. With all the pretty lies you spoke. I hope they burned inside your throat. And every time you said you loved me. Words are the wind, and the wind is nothing. Yeah, cross my heart I don’t miss those perfect lips. Yeah I hope shes a graceful liar too. You can fool her, but she can fool you. I hope I meant half as much. But that’s pretty fucked up. Wish I would have known that you were deadly. And you spread just like disease. Conjured up some fake love. Some fake trust, some fake eyes, some fake lust. Pretend emotions for pretend lovers. Maybe someone just forgot to tell me we were playing make believe. Jokes on me, we feed off deception. You were tempting. I was hungry to give in. I hope I got into you. In your thoughts and in your bones. So every time I think of you… you’ll get to break a little too. Yeah you can try to cut me out. But I’m in every part of you. And your in my veins, in memories that I hate. Can I at least bleed away your face? Do you remember how “gorgeous” you said I am? I’ve seen her face, and its honestly kind of sad. You always were sweet on the ugly ones. Probably why I never did look good standing next to you. Because I’m the surgeon, and your on the table. Its your turn to feel my knife. As I cut you open and expose your insides. As I bleed you vulnerable and destroy your pride. Oh I hate you and your brown eyes too. Yeah, I hate that I love every single thing about you.
