These tears are like acid, as they retrace this familiar path, burdened by the weight of my sorrows. Falling once more from their shallow pools, they whisper stories of hatred. The deep sense of loathing towards this never-ending vortex. These swirls of liquid nightmares, turned reality. Held once in your arms, I now lie in ruins. Lay to rest the hopes I once had, for you no longer wish to have this love. Bound by words, broken and untrue, you tied a knot around my heart. No questions, no struggle, it was yours for the taking. A ball on a piece of string, you toyed with my emotions. A cat, cruel by nature. It was what you had always known. Your arms wrapped around my waist, I wait for the last embrace. You were all I had left. You were the blood in my mouth, the scar on my wrist, air in my lungs. But that air was wasted, on Good bye. I'm left to sit in my darkness of self-hatred and lost memories of forgotten hope.
