[Note: this will be my last poem for sometime. I thank everyone for their support - it has meant the world to me. Love sucks.. the life out of you when it leaves]

Today…
my poetry died,
my heart died,
my hope died,
and who knows,
what else will.

Today…
she crushed my heart,
she slashed my soul,
my body bleeds.
And just to make sure,
she drove a stake in
for good measure.

Today…
she insulted our love,
she belittled me,
she called love a weakness.
Forget about tomorrow
I just need to get thru
the next minute
to survive.

R.I.P
