A message from a lover to a heartbreaker

The injury you caused

You left me staring and crying
As the glow leaves my face
Your words cut like daggers
As I fall to the ground

The damage you cause me
I feel I need more and more of it
Because I will always come
Running back to you

Self-inflicted wounds
Always burst at the sound
Of a notification

Hopeful eyes pace at your posts
Anticipating your next words
Only to find a bullet in my chest

My mouth dries as I look at the screen
Saying I love you
Only to be responded with
“Let's try another time”

But I will wait
I will wait for the pain to come again
The flames of your words
Burnt into my heart
