Love Kills

Short poem about toxic relationships...

"Love Kills"

Love kills and it will get you too,

Rip you to pieces, you won't have a clue.

Your fondest memories, the only glue.

Lying to yourself, it cant be that bad

But patience is fading like a worn out fad.

Love kills and it will destroy everything you thought that you had

...

These tears echo the memory of a ghost.

Was it mine or had it been yours?

I could not tell, and I never will.

A youths stitched soul, frayed by time.

Torn to shreds, for a victimless crime.

I couldn't have known it would end up like this.

A life I never lived, and a heart that never loved,

my brain never learned,

and my body stopped moving.

This night will be mine the last from many,

I no longer cry, nor scream not any.

Please, let my body be free and rest.

Forever at last I can finally breathe,

this pain will leave and I'm left to seethe;

For causing wounds that will forever last.

Goodnight my soul, and to you my past.

This speaks to me on quite a personal level.

Thank you! I wrote it in a bit of an emotional spiral so it's a little messy, but I'm glad it resonated with you!

the poem has a very broken feel. but I think it fits with the emotion your trying to portray. in a weird sense it helps to drive the message forward
