Why is it I'm drawn to her knowing how it will end?
Why do I miss her after she has flagrantly and knowingly done
        things that have wounded me so?
Why does my strength wane after just a few days?  
Her words have finally found there way through the barriers I have
        put around my ears, eyes and heart

The embers of her lies ignite the ashes of my now shattered heart,  
        breathing life into my lifeless corpse

I bleed
Oh, how I bleed
I bleed now these words onto page as my fingers sail across my
       keyboard.  
I bleed my inner most thoughts and feelings, bearing my soul to
        strangers passing by this post in some desperate hope for
              validation
Seeing me across the vast gap that lies between what I know and
        what my heart will not accept.
