Say you Love Me

Say you Love Me

A Poem by Aveline Honeysett
"

A short free-verse about a break-up and how a girl is still in love with her ex.

"
You broke my heart and cut me apart
with the sharpened shards of what remained.
I've scars on my wrists and cuts on my lips
as a reminder of mistakes made and words left unsaid.
You promised me forever but forever didn't last,
and I'm drowning in the thoughts of what could have been.
I reach out for you, but you turn away with contempt.
Your selfish sickness spreads throughout, and now I see it
I see the lies crawling beneath translucent skin, leaving
me wondering how I could have been so naive as to believe
the lies that fell from your lips.
You are nothing but a liar.
I was a marionette and you the master
Pulling strings to make me dance before you.
How I became so weak I'll never know,
but without you my legs are crippled and though I'm learning
to stand on my own, there is an emptiness inside.
No matter how loud I scream, you will never hear
Ears covered by the hands of an omnipotent monster
Pulling you further into hell without a second thought
And you lie down without a fight. Was I not worth the battle?
Through all the pain and misery, I still hold on, hoping still
that there's a chance for us to make it. Though all logic demands
I let go, my heart, though falling apart, clings to you, the one it loves.
While each night I lay in bed and pray for death,
I am tortured by memories of days gone by.
I wish that I could change everything.
And as I cry myself to sleep again, wiping the blood from my scars
I beg God to bring you back to me, to let me hear your voice.
I beg God to hear you say you still care.

Author's Note

Aveline Honeysett
Another break-up poem. It's free-verse, so it's not supposed to rhyme. I'm bad with poetry, so I apologize for that.
