X Marks The Spot Where My Heart Used To BeA Poem by Travis PrinoThis isn't gonna be another cliche song about our love but when you walked away you left a mark I can't get rid of but I don't want to talk about it anymore and I don't want to write about it like I did before I just want everything to be okay and I'm hoping that today's the day I can feel the scalpel crisscross my left breast peel away the skin expose what's under flesh ripping out the part of me that feels for you sew me up an empty hole where my heart used to beat and pump the blood that's flowing through my veins but now I'm weak without it and life I can barely sustain you were never true with what you said you felt for me and now I'm lying naked as my heart and chest continue to bleed you were just the trigger to my slow decay it won't be long until you see me wasted away I just want everything to be fine but I'm still struggling not to die I can feel the scalpel crisscross my left breast peel away the skin expose what's under flesh ripping out the part of me that feels for you sew me up an empty hole where my heart used to beat and pump the blood that's flowing through my veins but now I'm weak without it and life I can barely sustain I'm waiting for someone to give me a reason to trust I'm hiding from the pain of what I've let myself become I won't let this break me, I won't let this break me again I'm fixing the broken pieces that you left here for dead I'm waiting for someone to give me a reason to trust I'm hiding from the pain of what I've let myself become I won't let this break me, I won't let this break me again I'm fixing the broken pieces that you left here for dead I can feel the scalpel crisscross my left breast peel away the skin expose what's under flesh ripping out the part of me that feels for you sew me up an empty hole where my heart used to beat and pump the blood that's flowing through my veins but now I'm weak without it and life I can barely sustain you are my disease and I'm still searching for the cure hopefully one day I'll find her. © 2019 Travis Prino |
