Rock Bottom, C.L.
This stinging,
The smoke,
The nicotine to my head,
It’s something I’m grateful to feel.
Because the heartache,
The tears,
And the memory of you,
These wounds will never heal.
Who is this?
This shell,
This tired, lonesome girl,
Who had never felt so glum.
A stranger,
A mystery,
The reflection I see…
What have I become?
I can’t believe,
It meant nothing?
Every look you gave,
A lie covered by a smile…
And so it seems
Still least grateful
With every stab to my spine
My heart will still beat a while.

Wow! That was absolutely beautiful and yet so painful. It speaks to me because I just got dumped after a 7 year relationship. This is exactly how I feel, empty and as if I have been lied to the entire time. Promises not kept and broken. You are amazing.
