The shredding of my heart begins

Blood spilling from the open wound

Dripping from the dagger that was your words

I thought that this was over

The pain had subsided

A year ago, this was finished

Or had I left the rope bound tightly around my heart

The noose of my neverending love waiting to tighten itself

Mocking my fragile sense of reality

Confusion surrounds me

Memories beckoning me to my imagined reality

Wrapping around me like a warm down comforter

Whispers of love and adoration echo in my ears

It would be effortless to stay here

Living in this fictitious life that

Only my eyes can see

Longing for my fantasy to become reality

What is the point of this alternate existence

It will never come to fruition

I am merely prolonging the torture of my heart

Therefore I must unbind my heart from this deceptive devotion

I release myself from this manipulative affair

Reality is bittersweet
