Heart twister

heart twister,

You broke my shattered heart

Heart twister,

You tore my very soul into your mixed puzzle of grief

And mixed it into the rest of your choking malaise

To only throw it away;

And mock me with your false friendship.

I gave you all I had, I kept trying to keep us from falling into the black void

thoughtlessly, you tossed me aside

Heart twister,

You can’t play victim over your own manifestation of fear and calculated hatred

I only wanted to share my experience with you,

The terrible parts that mixed up with the decent, the very best to the worst,

And you spat me out like a twister, a new brand of radiant heart blister,

Rejecting me as a bad piece of meat.
