Another day, another heartbreak

Poem

I had hit rock bottom, the bottom of the barrel

I had sipped from the bottle, until the bottle wasn't helping

Started slowly drifting- hollow, like the hollow in my bed set

Of where you used to lie- and lying was what you were best at

Crocodile tears when I caught you in a sex act

With someone who wasn't me, in the spot I rest my head at

Dreams turned to nightmares of where we'd get wed at

​

​

​

When I think back on the things you'd said, the lies you spewed

How did you sleep at night, laying next to the man you lied to?

The consistency of your inconsistencies -

is constantly driving a drift between who I was and who I wished to be

Now that I know, ill is what you're wishing me?

​

​

​

You said he was your best friend

I'm ok now but I was depressed when

You kissed him, thinking I wasn't listening

Don't play the victim, this heartache is crippling

The tightness in my chest

The shallow in my breath

I did my best to give you the best

When you left, you left faithlessness

I guess you put the "L-I-E" in faithfulness

​

​

​

I was in my feelings, filling prescriptions

A side effect of life is feeling indifference

Dead or alive, I couldn't feel a difference

Even next to each other you kept your distance

​

That's not the worst, stay right there

I can still see you in my nightmare

Why am I saying all this? It's not like you might care

Used to hope when I awoke you'd be right there

I always was a dark horse, like a night mare

Had to fight for you just for you to not care

About the pain and stress in my hair

​

​

​

I've healed now, I don't care if he was your best friend

When he cheats on you, I hope you're depressed when

He kisses them, thinking you weren't listening

You'll actually be a victim of heartache that's crippling

When you grip your chest

Lose the heat in your breath

When you know you had the best

Had nothing more than everything and deserved less

I hope that pain is one you never forget

You chose a player over a devotee, you chose the faithlessness

I guess you are the "F-A-U-L-T" in faithfulness.
