Love's Last Letter |

To,

A Broken Heart

When you thought you owned my heart I said I was scared to fall in love again. Faith and hope passed me by. You fooled the heart when you touched your lips. The gentle feel that ran through the chest, the magical kisses I felt on the waist.  You said I tasted like the old wine, was best to drink for the whole night. I gave life to your thirsty soul.

 Darling, that was all you needed. I became the same bottle you opened every night and enjoyed the pleasure of the same old wine. Waited by my phone all day long for the voice that  never talked to me ,waited for those texts that never brought a smile, longed for the care that you barely showed, baby, they made me mad.

 Never wanted to argue, never meant to start a war. Didn't wanna break a heart, didn't wanna tear us apart. I put you up so high with my love, you stoop down so low. You carefully hid the triumph of your lust behind the truth you faked in your eyes.

 Tried to walk away, but you hit so hard. You threw me, you tied me, I fought you, you hurt me. Hated the blame games that gave the scratches, the bruises underneath my skin. Burns of cigarettes and broken bottles never worried you. But, the wars had to stop. We came to an end.

Now I am free from the constant pain. Free from the yelling and condemning for the reasons I've never understood.  But that day, you laid hands on me, burnt the memories we made, where the heart slowly died, you let me burn, you let me bleed....you lost what once you owned.

Baby, I'm never coming back. You thought you conquered the pride. You cannot put me down, you cannot lock me in. You cannot beat this storm into submission.

If you are the beast whom I left forever, then I'm happy to break a heart.

But still the night scares me. It is just the scars that burn. The scars, they tell the tale of how I healed.

It is just another silence that cries with me. The pale moon gleams on the words poured in just another paper.

This is just another goodbye.

Yours,

The name you never asked
