PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Look closely into my hollow eyes,

Where all the pain you caused still lies;

You left me here, alone and crying...

Are you happy that my heart is dying?

Move closer, feel my frozen skin,

The quiet fear that lives within;

Each word you spoke... a papercut,

A dull blade carving deep and rough.

Remember all those empty promises you made,

The fragile hope you slowly laid;

They darkened like a solar eclipse,

Then vanished from your careless lips.

You said that sticks and stones won’t break me,

But words like yours still chose to shake me;

Now look at me, I’ve come undone…

And yet, I’m not the only one.

So tell me now, before you run…

Are you happy with what you’ve done?
