Mistress

Falling apart at the hinges and seams,
Collateral damage ripped apart my only dreams.
Cutting won't help stop the pain,
Clouds are high; they'll drown me in the rain.
I pulled my pieces together; paper and glue,
I'm bleeding out; there are shards of memories of you.
I would cut the skin on my hands in two,
So you could gaze at the bones that have always loved you.
I'll close my eyes and try to sleep,
But you're every dark corner of my mind, even down deep.
With every blink I see your eyes,
Blue as an ocean, deceptive like ice, and poisoned with lies.
There's not possible way I could forget this,
If only I'd known that heartbreak was your hidden mistress.
