Broken Lover

On the white ceramic surface

A crimson pool forms on the floor

Creating the silhouette of a broken lover
 

Jealousy is a bitter affliction

Experienced many times during life

A driving force behind drastic measures
 

Heartbreak is a crippling action

Slicing us apart from the inside out

Dangerously changing how we view every aspect of our lives
 

But love is the most powerful of all

It influences every decision made

Causing both catastrophic and triumphant events
 

Combined together

These three emotions

Create a recipe for disaster and tragedy
 

The words you speak pierce the silence

When we are isolated

Intertwined with one another
 

I’ve tried to run countless times

But you beckon to my weakened heart

And I will always return to you
 

Then I see you standing there

With another at your side

The one you made a vow to
 

But I have pledged myself to you

And sworn my love forever

Until my heart stops beating
 

That’s when ideas started pouring in

Flooding my mind

Drowning any judgment I had left
 

The thought of you in another’s arms

Never truly mine

Is enough to end my existence
 

Now the warm liquid spills from my chest

Pumping from the wound in my heart

Covering my place of final rest
 

Warm sensations run from my head to my toes

And I embrace the sleepy urges

Encouraging me to close my eyes
 

The solution to our situation

Has been discovered

By the one that loved you best
 

As I slip into a deep sleep

From one I will never awaken

I embrace you
