A broken heart

Oh where do I start?

We both played our parts

A tale of love doomed from the start

Two souls destined to be apart

Our love was never smart

Even though we looked like a work of art

By Danie Franco on Unsplash

Chasing you was my biggest mistake

You were always a flake

But you made my heart quake

With every touch you would take

Myself you made me forsake

My heart you did break

But now I am awake

By Christian Lue on Unsplash

Your mouth full of judgment

Me, a glutton for punishment

Undermined my achievement's

Disregarded my bereavements

Stagnated my Advancement

Negative advisement

Left me cold from your abandonment

By Warren Wong on Unsplash

Destroyed my trust

All that drove you was lust

You treated me like dust

Leaving you was a must

Your treatment was never just

No wonder it all combusts

Now all I feel is disgust

By Martin Adams on Unsplash

A lesson learned from a man

He never gave a damn

But oh he had a beautiful tan

And his favorite dessert was flan

Lost when we began

You never had a plan

And made me feel less- than

From abroad

Your confidence a façade

Your logic flawed

Thought you were a god

All because you had a nice bod

You were a bit odd

Your character a fraud

By Philip Myrtorp on Unsplash

A hot head with his parents money

You really were never very funny

To worried about a sculpted tummy

Oh so very pretentious honey

Even if you did look yummy

You did not make my days very sunny

Because you were as real as the easter bunny
