Heartless.
This is probably the first poem/lyrics?/rap? I've written in 4 or 5 years. But I needed to get something on paper or I was going to implode. Thanks in advance for feedback <3
Heartless.
Heart of darkness, don't want no part of this.
I'm torn.
Into pieces.
What's real what's fake?
Was it all a mistake?
What's me, do I throw it all away?
How could you do this
I'm clueless.
The truth is I don't even know who YOU is.
Or I is.
Or we is.
What is, what isn't?
You used to be my given.
I built this life for you, for us,
for truth, for trust
SIX YEARS GONE
HOW CAN I FUCKING ADJUST
my life is done.
life tried and won.
if there's a winner there's a loser.
back to a beginner thanks to my abuser.

So love this, I can hear it as I read it. This is definitely a piece for performance poetry. It has good rhythm and it ends with a twist. I really admire how the whole poem is a build up of pain over loss of love when it turns out at the end that the pain is from something else entirely. It doesn't celebrate that loss, it's honest and raw, depicting the true, lasting pain of abuse. Nice one.
Thank you for your kind words. It's means a lot!
