Colleteral Damage

Long time didn't seem enough
To hold on to what looked like
Love only for it to turn into
a prison that hurt a kind
heart so rough,
And the heart wonders, what
Did it do wrong to be hit with
Thunders? Easily replaced in
Less time than it deserved?
Does it ring a bill? Daily check-ins
Stories of how your days went till
The moment you walked in? How
Your heart would to mine vent till
The storms calm down and a smile
Replaces your frown with a gentle
Pat on the back saying "good job,
You're on the right track" virtually
But more like spiritually,
You talked about bravery so much
I didn't notice...it's what you lacked
Your pockets full of wealth with big
Fat lies packed...and a heart stained
With ego ready to give up what it loved
For a forged image that even you can't
Grasp when locked alone with your
Demons and inner voicese of guilt attacks
You feared the tears but let out your teeth
On a helpless soul that mistakenly thought
You're her pain relief, turns out you're a
Maniac who'd make her question her beliefs
Despite how similar the letters sound
You and I know to whom your heart
Longs while the minutes count, and
who held your hand when it gave out,
But as ungrateful as you are so were
Your selfish hands that knew about
taking more they did on giving,
I guess you'll just keep on living, 
Ripping someone's heart must have
Been your idea of thrilling, how
Did it end before my heart I could
Even mend? Why did you waste time
Pulling fake effort to pretend?
I'll blame it on me this time,
My heart was busy acting blind
Now it's busy figuring out how to
Get the time to rewind with the
least damage to my mind while
Telling everyone I'm fine...
