Heart Crushed

By Circe Avalon

My hearts ache
is now like the background noise
for all the shit thats gone wrong.

In a single moment
I could lapse into death
and the pain would be gone.

~*~
Is it hard to live with this burn in your eyes
this pain in my chest,
this ringing in my ears?

And all the shadows hold
are the things she said he'd do
all the things she wanted you to fear
~*~

My voice is gone from crying and
my mouth is dry from the wails.

All I taste is bile
from the vomit
I can no longer dispel.
