Heatbreak Poem by Brandon Chiles

This heart is tearing open,
I can't leave my past behind,
you think you saw me tear,
and I'll call you blind.
You always tell me how you miss me,
and stab me right in my bleeding heart.
You think I don't know,
what tore us apart?
I'm tired of listening to the lies,
that spread from your mouth.
Why can't you realize I don't want it to continue on,
I want this nightmare to end like a bad song.
I leave my heart out on a line,
and yet you always manage to cut it ever so fine.
So let me exercise you like the demons in my head,
go back and stay in that dark shed.
Don't think of calling my phone,
I just want left alone...
