Redundant Heart

by Baby Rainbow   Jan 2, 2021


I have become so cold,
I have grown so numb,
never again will I leave myself
open to these scars and pain.

I have felt so much anguish,
I have been burned by fear and drowned by depression,
but nothing ever hurt me more than you did.

You tried your best to love me, to understand me.
You promised me I could rely on you,
and foolishly, I believed that to be true.

I can only assume that your intention when leaving me,
was purely to hurt me beyond repair,
after-all, you more than anyone,
knew the massacre it would cause within me -
but you still chose to walk away.

I am not blaming you,
I am simply acknowledging that you decided
to go against your understanding of me,
and break what you knew was already fragile,
only to then leave the shattered pieces for someone else to clear.

But no one will ever clean up my broken pieces again,
because of you,
I have become so cold,
I have grown so numb,
never again will I leave myself
open to these scars and pain.
