Concussion + Broken Hearts= bad week (Free verse) by New Life Drug
Blue eyes cut like knives
straight to my heart
Pictures of you in my brain
came up on the scan
The doctor said "what is going on here?"
I just silently ran
and excused myself from the memories
yelling back with ease,
"I'm sorry but this week has been hell"
A good fall followed by a broken heart
What more can I withstand?
His words were like a poison dart
Every tear is an emergency
Every sigh an undone stitch
this is what it feels like
to be stuck in a ditch
to be alone in the dark
to be lost in the sea
to be confused in a city
So I gathered my pieces
the ones he blatantly crushed
and put them back together
in a dizzy Vicodin rush
The nurses never caught up
Him and I never spoke again
And if you see either persons around,
tell them, come Saturday,
this will finally be the end
