Let me tell you about the girl who ruined me.

My mother warned me about strangers.

My mother warned me about drugs.

My mother warned me about heartbreak.

She did not warn me about you.

I was not warned that pretty eyes and a soft touch could

be so poisonous to my heart.

When she came into my life, the lights were drawn back.

My heart awoke ready for love.

You put your head on my heart you can feel

the drum on my ribs of her stardust wanting to break free.

Flowers started to bloom in my lungs that I started breathing nothing but your sweet words.

Until you set fire to my heart.

My ribs collapsing unsure of what would remain when you were done.

My heart not wanting to beat without you.

Do not sit here and tell me you’re hurting.

Do not sit here and tell me you love me.

Do not sit here and tell me I’m the one who ripped your heart out.

You have no right.

My bones still ache for you each morning.

My lungs as weeping willows crashing waiting for you to come back and put the fire out.

The fire that you started.

My body is your carcass.

Surrounding by the words you spoke, but never meant.
