You promised to protect me.
You vowed to love and cherish me.
After all that,
Leaving my heart like the promises,
broken and alone.
My brain already conditioned that men left,
damaged,
poisoned women with their misleading assurances.
You just confirmed that,
picking the blade up for me.
Throwing my thirty days in the trash out back,
you pierced my skin deeper than ever before.
The blood ran,
across my arm to the floor.
Until the world became fuzzy,
and your face wasn't there anymore.
