Desert Mirage Poem by Chelsea DeVries

I don't know how to feel
today
my mind has gone
away
because my heart has broken
in two.

Here I stand
glass pieces of my heart
surround me
holding out my wrists
they cut me.

You stand above me
watch me bleed
a smirk plays
upon your face
as you tell me I've been replaced.

You never loved me
I was just a toy
watch me go
Girl leaves boy.

It's sad
I'm still not enough.
sandpaper truth,
jagged and rough.

I wanted so much
to be all you need
but you would rather
leave me to bleed.

I will rise
I will not die
I will live
to make you wish
I wasn't alive.
