broken blossom

plethora of broken promises
leave them scattered like torn photographs
thrown across the room
with your sharp gaze scraping over my face

all these forgotten oaths
toss them into the brook where we used to play
let them sink like stones
and leave them watching us from the bed

don't play the innocent victim
your smile betrays a cold heart, beating only when I am near
such an odd existence
living to kill me by using my pain to survive

every lie you ever told me
bury them twelve feet underneath the night sky
turn your back and walk away
soon what you've abandoned will blossom in the light
