Broken Red String

Heartbreak

By Victorian Black Published 3 years ago 1 min read

“Rock”

I was a rock

A small sharp rock

Cracks through me like the danger of deep cut emotions

The sharp edges- like my sharp nails digging into the sand

Broken through the middle my other half thrown away

Into the deep dark blue sea

Alone on the sand: warm and wet

Left and unwanted by the person

Who bleeds at my touch

Black as where my other half had been attached to the dark bottom

Cutaway, severed the red string of love-

That held us together

The sharp edges of a broken heart

The water salty as rain

Or

The dangerous waters hitting the rock wall

Of my soul

Tears tracing my pale and sharp features.

The color drained from me

With every second sitting on this warm and wet sand

Dead inside and out

No words able to escaping my mouth

Lips black and blue like the color of a sharp and untouched diamond

I am a rock in a way

But not.

About the Creator

Victorian Black

I have always loved writing, even if it can be challenging sometimes but that has never stopped me. I have always wanted to be an author. Many of my books take topics people are afraid to talk about, so I put that topic in my writing.
