She waited so long
For a lover’s return
Only to realize
That it would burn
The reek of betrayal
Was potent in his words
He hid it well
Her mind was blurred
Feeding her lies
Yet not even there
To tell her
That it was all just a guise
She woke up from a dream
Truth hit her in the face
She could hardly grasp
That his love could not be traced
Her shell was shattered
She could not keep going
So she slashed herself
29 lines and counting
Now she bleeds
Depressing blood
All over her chamber
Like a crimson flood
She falls to her floor
With no strength to carry
She looks up to the ceiling
Her feelings now she must bury
“Harden your heart”
She spoke to herself
These feelings she has
Must now depart
Because there was never “us”
There was never “we”
There was never “love”
Not if there’s three
She’ll never love him
Like she did before
It lingers in her mind
That he may want more
Someday her heart will heal
As will her wounds
The pain will leave her
Very soon

Yis, yis. Tis sad b/c it's true. I wanted to show others the pain, then grief, then healing (physically and mentally). Mixed in with a little bit of hatred.
