My Awakening

Never Again.
I will never expose my emotions again.
My vulnerability has left a whole in my heart, that will never be filled.
I will become the ice princess,
allowing my body to mimic the emptiness of my heart.
I will no longer wait for my knight,
I will no longer wish to be rescued.
My life has ended and begun, all at the same time.
I'll no longer pay heed to all the promises made,
I know eventually they will be broken.
I will no longer be the mat for others to walk on.
My eyes are open to a new form of life,
in which I'll care for no one but myself.
I've sliced my wrists and let the weakness I've been clinging to
seep out with my blood.
I will become an empty shell,
devoid of all love for others.
Tonight is my awakening.
