We have been here before. My cardiac flesh scattered in pieces on the floor, And your gumboots, Grinding on them just to make sure nothing is still beating. I had just turned into a woman, my 18th birthday, When your lover revealed my significant other Was her significant other. Even though I left an angel for you, A man who never did me no harm, You just stood there, with eyes full of greed, And uttered “baby, you’re all I need.” Broken promises should hurt, But only the first time around. It doesn’t hurt that I put so much effort, When my friend turned her back on me as I gave you a second chance. Silly me I should have hated you like she did, I should have opened my eyes to your intentions sooner But no! you pumped your helium love into me Got me up so high so I couldn’t see what’s deep down. It doesn’t hurt that I called you more than you thought of me. It doesn’t hurt that our firth has to be in a ****** and vague mid night text My eyes have cried way too many times for you, And what’s a scratch on a heart that you’ve stabbed over and over? It doesn’t hurt me that you’ve left me again, probably for her, again. It really truly does not hurt, Although I wish it did. Coz then it would prove that I loved you, Coz I truly, wholeheartedly did.
