ex boyfriends...

the title says it all. awhile ago,i was dealing with something that truly changed my outlook on who i meet in the future. so in my poetry class, we had an assignment to write a poem about an ex boyfriend/girlfriend. so using my situation, i pulled at the strings that were holding my heart together and opening up the wound i so carefully healed. thank god i love to write, because expressing the way i felt, was a good way of venting for me. here it is:

Words you utter
Sting like an angry bee
Sending poison into my veins
Pain shot throughout my body
Each word leaving it mark on my skin

Smile on your face
What once was sweet
Now turned sour
Come and gone
Like the warm summer sun
Overshadowed by autumn’s chill breeze

Clouds descend
Casting its shadow
A frivolous romance
Evolving into a true love
Slowly the winter cold settles in
As I struggle to repair
A broken soul
Damaged by you
