Heartbroken Promises

Throw my heart off of a cliff,
I promise you I won't cry.

Tell me that you hate me,
that you never

wanted me
or
loved me

I promise you I'll work hard to try
to change
your mind

How do I scream, cry, beg and use my words
all at once

How do I explain this hopelessness
that causes me to stumble and fall

tripping me towards the edge,
barely catching myself in time

I can't even see through the tears
that won't stop falling.

God, stop falling damnit

DAMNIT
please....just stop.

I can't breathe, my heart can't keep up with the blood rushing to it to heal its broken pieces.

My lungs feel heavy with too much oxygen,
but there still isn't enough

Why is there never enough?

Why aren't I ever enough

my promises weren't enough, my heart wasn't enough, my soul wasn't enough, my words weren't enough, my laughter wasn't enough, my smile wasn't enough, my tears weren't enough, my mind wasn't enough

I wasn't enough.

I promised I'd be enough
