Bleeding Love Poem by Denise Peralta

Staring into your lying eyes
Where the truth lies beneath.
You think I'll believe you if you cry

I'm so sick of this thing so called love
You and I, we are history
I thought that my love was enough
But you needed much more than me

I'm always paying for your mistakes
Never was it ever your fault
And now when I cut with my blade
I think of all of your insults

Was she worth all of the tears
That you saw rolling down my face
Did the other one take away your fears
and loved you through rough days

Well I was like a fool; always by your side
Through no matter what
But this pain I will no longer hide
I will show it with one more cut

I will cut until no skin appears
And make them deeper than before
I will cry a silent tear
Knowing I won't have to feel anymore

And now you say that my pain is hurting you
That I should be the one who's sorry
But I wasn't the one being untrue
You cruelly cheated on me.
