I’m so tired of these feelings
these feelings that consume me
I’m so tired of the sound
the sound of my heart breaking
How could I let this happen?
How did you get to me so fast?
The darkness is all around me
I go through life in a fog
I slap on my mask
nobody realizes the truth
How could I let this happen?
How did you get to me this fast?
Everyone is like sheep
whatever I say
They blindly take it
for the truth
How could I let this happen?
How did you get to me this fast?
I hold a grave secret
that I will keep always
Voices keep saying, “Tell them!”
but I know I can’t
How did I let this happen?
How did you get to me this fast?
It burns like no hellfire
the hole you left in my heart
Nothing will fill it
the hole you left in my heart
How could I let this happen?
How did I let you get to me this fast?
I’m so drained by the ordeal
I want to lay down and be consumed
Just to let the voices have their feast
on what is left of my soul
How could I let this happen?
How did I let you get to me this fast?
Life just isn’t worth
living without your presence
If I can’t feel you’re with me
then I don’t want to feel
How could I let this happen?
How did you get to me this fast?
I feel so hesitant to feel
so I don’t feel like this again
It is easier to crumple and not feel
than to risk repetition
How could I let this happen?
How did you get to me this fast?
I can’t lie to everyone
for the rest of my life
But I can’t tell the truth
or risk being hurt again
How could I let this happen?
How did you get to me this fast?
I won’t relive this
I couldn’t handle it
I refuse to relive this
I won’t handle
I don’t know how this happened
but I won’t happen again
I don’t know how you got to me this quickly
but I won’t be so quick again

This was just after my birthday and I was really depressed and honestly this poem seemed to flow...I didn't try to write it any certain way...the words just flowed out...

Nice expression of pain and questions to your own heart! It is easy to say it won't happen again! I continued a cycle of heartbreak with my ex over and over thinking each time would be different. Much luck to ya!
