Heartbreak

The world is so empty without you in it.
Everything that I cared for and held dear,
disappeared when you fled.
So long you spent,
living a lie,
letting me think I was enough for you,
only to leave me there in the dark,
wondering where all the light in my life went.
You're not the first one to pick up and leave,
many others have come and gone before you.
But you're different,
because I gave you my heart,
and you never gave it back.
You shattered it,
into a million pieces
with your lies,
your cruelty,
and your selfishness.
You stole my heart,
and broke it.
You now remind me of why I hate others so,
you embody just as much greed as they do.
I can no longer draw a picture of you,
and find every stroke beautiful,
just like I used to
because my blood,
sweat,
and tears,
were used to paint that picture.
And now,
they are all I see when I look at you.
And everywhere I look,
I see you.
