Abnormality

I deliberate

You reiterate

It completely exhilarates

Me.

You eviscerate

My heart

From my chest

Like a secret art.

Before I know it

I'm exposed

Nothing left disclosed,

Nothing left to hide

And then you

Roll away, like the tide

Leaving me ashore

With nothing more

Than an empty

Chest cavity,

An abnormality.

 

As I stand there

In despair

you drift away

To another land

Where another girl

Will just as easily

Give you her hand,

Without knowing

That she'll never withstand

Your ever rolling tides.

And that she'll never be able

To get rid of the pain that subsides

Once you've stripped her

Down like you did I.

 

I'd cry

But I don't have a heart

To even really feel this goodbye.
