Empath Turned Black-Hearted Poem by arileafy 1

Halfway dead from the burns of betrayal
Chest pain given by the heaviness of rage
Given a new perspective, a new outlook on life
Nostalgia creeps in again and it's different now
I remember the joyful moments along with the painful ones
American capitalism has helped shaped me
Now singer Neyo's discography holds the emotions of my heartbreaks in his lyrics
My heart has had no choice but to retreat and become black
As black as tin
As black as the middle of nowhere
As black as the black hole in the universe
It becomes magic now like blue glitter in the nights sky
Instead of caring about everything, you become emotionless and distant
Instead of anxiety, you do everything your living body can accomplish
Having a black heart comes with a hard price though
Even though this may be true
I am willing to pay such a price for the sake of a different life from the one I've been bonded to my whole life
