Empty Life

My feelings after my boyfriend broke up with me.

Do not leave
my empty life
Your presence makes me feel
The knife in my heart
About the love
that once was
and will never be
But I’d rather feel
this suffering
than nothing at all
It makes me
so feel alive
it gives me a reason
to try harder and harder
To try and make
this all better
As I spread my wings
and try to fly
I will fall down
but will pull back up
Trying not to drown
in all these terrifying feelings
