Dear Someone

Dear Someone,

You’ve left me
ugly scars
stitched into my heart —
the day you decided to
walk away from me.

You’ve gifted me
nightmares of how you
belittled me,
made a fool out of me,
and stolen the love left for myself —
and every night as I fall asleep,
I always remember how you held me
as you sang me a lullaby of goodbye,
drifted me to sleep,
as you slip away —
leaving me unconsciously broken inside.
