Hey, so I wrote this relatively quickly (as I do with most my poems) and messed with the format a bit. I tried my best to stick to a 5-7-5-7 (etc) syllable scheme, but they're not haikus or anything. As a heads up, all the quoted lines are made by Him, the guy. My shadow. (It's funny because they're actual quotes. Yay.) Hopefully it isn't too confusing. Let me know what you think. Don't be reserved, shred it to pieces.
“What’s wrong with you, hun?”
I ache, the hole in my chest
Growing slowly, then
filling with my bloodied dreams
and cut heart strings; float
in the tears I swallow.
“There’s always a chance…”
He tries to bandage the leak
in my veins, vanquish
the doubt eating my insides.
But his heart strings sing
A lovely song he calls Rose.
“…But I love her, hun.”
A glass tear rolls down my cheek,
a river pathway.
Can you feel your heart explode?
Spraying all the pain
on the walls, staining the floor,
Inconveniencing
the next tenants of the house.
