Broken is the expression
On my diseased face
Such misplaced aggression
So scared to look at you
I've done it again
Failed to live up
To reach that expectation
To even do enough...
For you to care about me
Anymore
We walked together
On raindrops
Thinking of those
such important moments
But..
Where were you
When I called?
I pulled that trigger on your perfect face
Blew away your such euphoric grace
Told you that, "I wish I still cared"
So afraid, so lost, and so scared
But I didn't tell you that last part
Shattered is the emotion
In my rotted eyes
Such broken devotion
So frightened to see you
Dead...

Is it real? Is it false? I can't see the truth anymore.
So, what do you think?

This is one of those poems that leaves you in awe. I really felt what you were saying, the tremendous pressure to "live up" to expectations. I really like the flow of the words. You care about this person so much that its killing you, but the person does not show you any care back? Tragic. The title is super-effective, shattered person, shattered lives, shattered relationships. There is a big conflict of emotions, it's like I love you so much that I have to let you go (by my own hands).

Thank you so much for the comment. I'm trying to get back my twisted side, which I think I've lost a bit. I'm poking it a bit, though, and it's responding.
