I pledged my bleeding heart to you;
All you did was laugh.
You sweetly took my hand and led me to a river,
And at the last possible moment, you bared me your true,
Monstrous form,
And threw me into the freezing water.
You watched me drown,
A self-satisfactory grin twisting your features;
And as I drew my final shuddering breath of water,
You laughed;
A cruel, selfish, malicious laugh.
You never cared for anyone but yourself and your precious first girlfriend,
And yet pretended to care for me,
But in the end you only left me to drown,
To drown in the long-suffering pain you led me into.
Someday, you will suffer;
I promise, you will wish you never killed my bleeding heart which I had pledged to you.
Some rights reserved
rings true. the pain is palpable.
ReplyDeletetruly venting through poetry is so therapeutic. It can be so painful when you realize that the person you loved, was not who you thought they were. I have come to realize many times people will fall in love with who they believe the other person to be...and it can be quite shattering when the person betrays us. I hope you will find healing and peace soon.
