Your love is
Broken
Beyond Repair
A love full of
Splinters
That you drive
Into my heart
Wounding me
Deeply
Your heart is
Busted
Shriveled up
Two sizes too small
Unable to make
Room
For another soul
Your love is
Fractured
And you use it to
Cut
My heart
Open
Bleeding my love
Dry
because your love is
Toxic
Draining me of my
Joy
I must choose
Me
And leave

😱 F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!! 💪🏾🌸
that is exactly what how I felt with my ex. love this. expertly written and well deserving of TS.
Brilliant and congratulations on Top Story 🏆⭐️
Well written, congrats
Congrats on your Top Story! I loved the poem—it has such a deep meaning. The last lines stayed with me: Draining me of my Joy I must choose Me And leave. Sometimes, love can hurt so much that it drains our sparkle—the very light we don’t realize is fading until it’s too late to let go.
Hauntingly beautiful work 🥹🫶
