Broken hearts bleed out of the gap that you made

You were the one that decided to use the blade

You cut me open

After you got my heart and feelings to open

You had me exposed

Now I swear I will remain closed

From everyone

This pain and betrayal can never be undone

My heart is like a broken bone it will take forever to heal

Maybe it won’t ever heal

My trust is gone

Go on

Leave and go to her

I should have notice that we weren’t as close as ever

Like we used to be

How could you do this to me?

What did I do to you?

Did I really deserve all of this from you?

My heart is slowing now

The beats are quiet to now

My breathing is shallow

I lay my head upon my pillow

I begin to weep

I close my eyes and go to sleep

I am floating in darkness

I suddenly see a brightness

Shining on me

It warms me

Makes me feel like everything will be okay

And the pain will go away

Is this true

Or untrue?

I wake up and dry the tears

I realize that no one really cares

The dream was lie

Now I feel like I want to die

But why

To make people happy by ending my life

No, I can show everyone that I belong here as much as everyone else does.

I choose to live because,

I want to show people that you can always come back from pain

My strength I will eventually regain

Right now I need to heal my my heart

I will put my pain into all of my art

Show everyone that you can grow

Anyone can grow through the high and low.
