Who You Really Are...

Do you even know

how much you hurt me

I may as well

be writhing in pain on the floor.

You stole my heart

with a smile

then gave it away

like it was nothing

I need that heart back, you know

because I don't like just dealing with this

blank, dark,

empty hole in my chest.

It's hard to love like this

with no heart to beat

no blood to bleed

through these cuts on my wrist.

Was it too much to handle? 

Did he really need to know?

But the worst part is

you put the blame on me.

This fight is stupid

I'll admit it.

But you're making it more serious

and it's scaring me.

I'll miss you

if you leave

yet I hate you

while you're here.

go away

come back

stay away!

Never leave...

I wish it wasn't so confusing

having to fight for a secret

to stay a secret

when I thought I could trust you.

Is it as petty as you make it out to be?

Or are you just that shallow?

Stop hiding behind this mask

we all know who you really are...

I know this one might be a little confusing so let me clarify...

This poem is about one of my friends (we'll leave her name out) who I told that I was bi. Then she was on my profile and her boyfriend (who hates my guts and would do anything to ruin me... and makes this publicly known) is looking over her shoulder. He asks her who's profile it is, she tells  him it's mine. And behold! Now he fucking knows I'm bisexual.

I wasn't gonna play the blame game, I wasn't getting angry. She snapps because she thought I was angry and tells me it's MY fault! That I brought this all on myself!

Just... to clarify what the poem is about...

Goodbye then...
