Amber. [A Poetry Book]

The Vengeance of Heartbreak

She looks at her reflection in the mirror

Not recognizing the person staring back.

As she stares, it starts to become clearer

That depression is starting to attack.

She cries herself to sleep at night

Wondering why things have to be this way.

Deep in her mind, she's in a fight

That's tearing her apart day by day.

She wakes up every morning with a frown

One that sticks for quite a while.

It can't go away - her life is upside down

And it's impossible for her to smile.

She dreams of a much better life

Like the one she once knew so well.

As much as she would like to end this strife

She's trapped inside of a fiery hell.

She hears the voices speaking in her mind

Recalling the memories that now seem grim.

The words they speak aren't very kind

But that's because they're all about him.

She takes a stroll down a lonely path

With no one standing by her side.

Her isolation is a part of the wicked aftermath

Of the battle she is fighting deep inside.

She feels the hole inside her heart

Growing bigger as the days go on.

The vacant space that has festered since the start

Was once filled with love that's now long gone.

She tells the world that she's okay

Although deep down she knows that's all a lie.

Her choice is to get back up so she can stay

To say a bright hello instead of a dark goodbye.

There you have it. The saddest poem I have ever written.

It honestly felt good to write this poem. I let out a lot of emotions and it was almost like I was talking about my story without actually giving away details. 

I can say this truthfully and mean it 100% -  I will be okay.

It will be a long road, but I'll get better. I would like to once again thank all of you for your support. Hopefully in the future, I'll be able to write a poem about something else. This is probably getting repetitive, haha.

P.S. - This book was also updated yesterday. The other poem is called "The Team I Used to Know". Check it out if you haven't done so already. (It's a lot shorter than this poem.)
