Makeshift Hearts

By call to arms

Another hot tempered
"Fuck you,
I can't do this anymore"
Followed by
An insincere
Apology
However empty
She always embraces
These two words
Because she needs
Something
To sustain her.

He leaves again
He leaves her there
To rip herself apart.
To let the dejective
Hopless thoughts
Gloomy
Heavy-heartedly
Sink in
Brain washing
Stripping everything
That's left.

She can't bear
To begin another day
Without him.
Even knowing
Tomorrow
He'll return
With flowers
And vindication
Yet vindictive.
He'll leave again
Too many drinks
She'll say the wrong thing
He'll go.

She's done.
She won't be here
Tomorrow
The flowers will die
This time she won't
Cherish every petal.

Tomorrow comes.
He walks through the door.
Daisies in one hand
A bottle of Vodka in the other.

She lies
Silently
Motionlessly
On the bedroom floor
Next to the bloodstain
From that time he
Just didn't like the way
She was looking at him.

A note that reads
"Fuck you
I can't do this anymore...

...I'm as sorry as you've ever been"

    "The flowers will die This time she won't Cherish every petal".. this line cradled me but pushed me away at the same time, if that makes sense.. like the pain is too unbearable but your description is absolutely beautiful, this was a fine work. nicely
