I surely remember the day

I fell from the sky,

my spine broke

and most of all,

my heart was broken to pieces

of glass

You told me you were going

to cuddle it,

you told me you wouldn't make

it fall to the ground

now I foul pain chokes my chest cavity,

I can breathe,

as breathless as emptiness

you told me you weren't going

to let anything come between us,

you promised me daily

that you were mine forever

what happened?

Suddenly you switched off,

you didn't pick my calls,

then I saw you with another guy,

the tears really invaded my eyes then,

my mind was knocked out

by the punch of your stinging negligence

then you lied to that guy too?

why did you do this to me?

I apparently did nothing to you,

I gave you EVERYTHING,

apparently EVERYTHING,

but you buried my heart in razor wire,

making it bleed eternal

under the mercy of your mercilessness,

you didn't even say goodbye,

you just shattered me.

Now I beginning to think,

why did I even meet you?
