Forever, that’s what you promised.
But you broke it.
The promise wasn’t all that was broken,
My heart broke.
It didn’t just break, it tore and collapsed
And stopped working.
It beat out of my chest when I read those final
Words from you to me.
I shook with rage and hurt, the two ripping my
Soul into a million pieces.
I've never felt so alone and scared.
It supposedly wasn’t your fault I cried.
But it was.
It was your fault I was angry and terrified and
Heartbroken.
You weren’t a high school flame that would
Die down,
You were my best friend.
But not anymore, we drew a line and
Neither one of us is going to cross it.

Do you ever wish you could just come right out and say everything you feel to that one person that hurt you so bad you'll never forget, no matter how hard you try?
It doesn't have to be a boy/girlfriend, it can be a best friend. Or a former best friend
