Footprints Poem by Brittany Fegley

Even though your words
Arent sharp
They still cut deep
Like knives to my heart
Then the poison
Gushes out my mouth
As my body runs red
Your heart runs dry
Theres no turning back
Once you make that
Wrong turn
You cant enter
Into my broken heart
Not because I wont
Let you in
But beacause your
Foot prints will rip
The tape I temporarally
Fixed it with
The tearing of the tape
Burns worse than those knives
You used to cut my heart with
The second wounds
Bring memories
To my eyes
I can see your face
In my tears
Running down
My cheaks
And splashing
Like crashing waves
To the ground
You've created
A mirror
I've come to loath
My refleaction
Shines disgust
To my shallow
Watered eyes
And next
The mirror
Concaves
And I'm swimming
In my own filth
I clam up
And my body
Freezes like a statue
I sonk to the bottom
I can't drowned
Here
It's you all around me
I wont let you
Be the one to
Fill my pure
Lungs
With your exhaust
Of your fumed lies
My eyes
Open, It's funny
Your not here
And I've loosed
my noose
I've hung so dearly too
One day my heart
Will no longer need this
Tape
I'll be free
To live my life like
Today was my last
And my heart
Will stop beating
To the sound
Of your name
