Heart torn from my chest
in your hand it’s still beating
you smile as it dies

***************

You are stronger now
I say farewell ~ I can’t use
what I can’t abuse

***************

That version of me
the best I had to offer
wasn’t good enough

***************

I feel like I am
wandering aimlessly lost
in another’s dream

***************

His lies flow easy
like the swift current of a
turbulent river
