The alcohol doesn’t heal it <br />It only seems to conceal it <br />And my aphrodisiac doesn’t work <br /> <br />For when I’ve sat and cried <br />And always tried to hide <br />Realising that when you hit you hurt <br /> <br />But nothing will erase it <br />No heart will ever save it <br />Our relationship hit the floor with a thud <br /> <br />And trying to carry on <br />When all feelings have gone <br />Will be like trying to run through mud <br /> <br />So safely I will say <br />Let’s not spend another day <br />Pretending that we really get on <br /> <br />My heart is blackened to you <br />My words will never be true <br />And everything I felt has gone <br /> <br />I know you detest me <br />That much I can see <br />Through the bruises that rest on my face <br /> <br />This is where I’ll end it <br />Our relationship is shit <br />And in my heart you have lost your place <br /> <br />Goodbye. I want you to know <br />That once I loved you so <br />And I guess I’ll love you again <br /> <br />Although we’ll never talk <br />And I’ll avoid you when I walk <br />I am truly sorry If I ever caused you pain.<br /><br />Emily Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-dear-beloved/
