Love

You left an emotional mark
Cutting deeper than anything physical
You could’ve watched the blood pour
from my veins
but you didn’t need to
I wouldn’t have felt it.

You hurt me in ways
I never thought you would
In ways you promised
blank space
You wouldn’t.
You couldn’t.
You did.

you must think
I talk
I talk about with you poison coating my lips
spreading feverishly
blank space
that must be
surely
the justification and easy fix
for you to behave this way
I’d hope so
the person I knew
wouldn’t have acted this way
blank space
you are wrong
I do not talk with such dirt
I do not talk
