Survived heartbreak

I sit here waiting
for the axe to fall
I sit here pretending
I don't care at all
but inside I am shaking
I'm falling apart

I've lost control
I gave it all away
I let out my anger
what else can I say

It took but a moment
to make me feel complete
took but a second
for skin and knife to meet

lost all intensity
but the meaning held strong
took but a second
for the blood to trail along
down my wrist
and on to the floor
there is no confusion
I don't hurt anymore

it took just a second
to see the empty soul
not even a millisecond
for all the tears to flow

I coulda bled forever
and it wouldn't be enough
I coulda cut deeper
but my skin's just too tough
I could've died
but I was already dead
I coulda hung myself
but I couldn't lift my head

all I felt was hallow
all I felt was grief
all I felt was emptiness
so very incomplete

I don't know how it happened
I never saw the signs
I never saw the malice
behind those gorgeous eyes
I didn't want to see it
he was a killer in disguise
and all though my heart is broken
and I all I do is cry
I've found an odd comfort
knowing I've survived

Author notes

I didn't know what to call it but I knew Ang would freak if I wrote untitled lol umm I dont completel know what inspired me to write this but I think in general the poems I read today gave me the inspiration to try and write somemore so thanks to Eden and Babyrred22 since their poems were the ones I've read today after reading such incredible work its hard to not try and write something great for yourself

    Awesome

    i really like it. it just portrays so much i can personally relate to. i really like the way you say "coulda" instead of could have. it just adds character and a sense of personality.
