Ill love

I was kind of angry when I originally wrote this but here's what happened to it

This poem started off as a rant

About how angry,

how sad,

how frustrated I felt

But most of all,

Hoe abandoned you feel loving someone

Who is mentally unstable

See he didn't realize how happy me made me

He felt like a grain of sand surrounded by mountains

Yet I couldn't shut up about how I thought the sun radiated from his smile

On the occasions he did smile

Every time he broke my heart

A scarlet rose appeared on my wrist

See I was ill too - I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel

So I blamed myself rather than his illness

I was constantly told to move on

One of us was going to end up in a mad house they said

With no knowledge of the visit I already  paid

I constantly tried to tear his love out of my heart

Only to sew it back

I desperately tried to bleach his fingerprints from my skin with another man's

Tried to erase the poems for him off my lips with another's kiss

At the end of the day

I still recite those poems

Tears falling like razor blades from a newly recovered's hands into the trash

The toxicity of our endeavor so

I wake screaming to be back in his arms

I love your imagery and the similes that you use! It's really intense and really good writing. ;)
