Heartbroken, cut open, Your knives stuck in my back. Misspoken, I'm chokin', Trying to get my life on track. Dark places, many faces, Where I've been and what I no longer see. Make haste, and go away, This depression I'm in is killing me. You model, men ogle, You're no longer what I fell in love with. I toggle, and down a bottle. This alcohol is a poison's kiss. My heart turns to stone when our eyes meet. I'm frozen here in place. Deep red blood now turns to ice, Flowing through these veins. Your memory, I'm not forgetting, I dream of you when I don't try. I can't erase you, you're haunting, Me, and I can't live my life. I resist, yet you persist, To linger in my state of mind. I'm not happy, you've stabbed me In the back two years ago in time. You cheated, I felt defeated, My world collapsed around me. Our photos, deleted But my mind still won't leave me be. My heart turns to stone when our eyes meet. I'm frozen here in place. Deep red blood now turns to ice, Flowing through these veins. Your beauty, shoots through me, But you're a cancer inside. You're looming, you've doomed me. See the pain in these eyes. I've tried, and I've cried, Too many tears in the time you've been gone. It's humiliating, and complicating, Everything still feels so wrong. I've fought, and I've sought, My demons, and anyone for help. I'm rearranged, and I'm changed, Not for the better because you've made my life Hell. My heart turns to stone when our eyes meet. I'm frozen here in place. Deep red blood now turns to ice, Flowing through these veins. Medusa...

Heartbroken, cut open, Your knives stuck in my back. Misspoken, I'm chokin', Trying to get my life on track. Dark places, many faces, Where I've been and what I no longer see.

This is a "poetic" version of how I feel after being cheated on in a 4 year relationship. I haven't seen her in person since the break-up, and I hope that time never comes.
