The Way He Left

It's very strange

because poetry sounds so beautiful when you're on the other end of it

reading it

devouring it.

And it all sounds so beautiful

until you're the one

getting your heart ripped out of your chest

and having to sew back the broken pieces with trembling hands.

It's so beautiful

until you're the one

on the floor unable to breathe

because of the ways he hurt you

because of the ways he left you.

-C.D.
