Goodbye, Love

Folder: 
Dusk

Then, my heart used to love freely without apprehension,

Now, a bitter metallic core is all I have left.

You stole what once made me human, and turned me machine.

Now, instead of salt and water,

I cry artificial tears.



In a vast universe of strife and turmoil,

It seems logical that I would blend right in,

But no one will ever witness my inner torment

Now that you’ve left me here.

I’ll showcase that meaningless, robot smile,

So that no one will come to know

My crippled heart has imploded,

My arctic world frozen over, encased in snow.



I’m just a typical, wishful girl in the endless and constant pursuit

That leaves the blackened soles of my feet cracked and bloodied,

All in hopes I’ll find my ever-elusive Prince Charming,

Who could melt the frost and make me feel again.

But, in reality, I’ve foolishly kissed too many toxic toads

To desire to drown once more in that murky pond.

I think it’s best to escape, while I still can, for higher grounds,

No matter how barren and incessantly lonely it will be.



Goodbye always and forever, Love.  I’ll miss you.

But you were never good to me.

A heart can only repair itself so many times before crumbling completely and turning its back on Love altogether...
