he doesn’t love me

I uselessly write romance to escape this world

He avoids me until I want to leave

Then he suffocates my heart like a pacemaker

Slowing it down or making it go faster

He doesn’t love me

I write useless poetry that true love doesn’t read

He doesn’t love me

He never did

He made my heart into a stone

He squeezed out the pain, beat the stone black, purple, red and blue

Suffocating my heart like a rock a pacemaker

Suffocating my

Heart

Suffocating my

Heart

It’s beating too hard

It’s beating slow

He doesn’t love me

He never did

He threw my stone in a deep ravine

I’m suffocating my

He’s suffocating

I’m suffocating

sad poetry
