Take a seat and listen
It's time you to finally hear
You're a bitter, despicable, Bitch!
 
Does this shock you?
The words that I have said?

It feels good to say them
They've been rumbling around my head
 
You didn't blink
You didn't think twice
You cut open my chest
with your serrated knife
 
I couldn't talk
I couldn't breathe
I was filled with misery
 
Anguish
Gloom
Darkness
Dismay
Depression took me in 
for a long, long stay
 
My mind at war
Unable to conceive
Confused and befounded
I wept
 
A struggle to come to terms
with the truth
I wish not to see

Where once was love
is bleeding wound
void and empty
 
I am powerless
I have no control.
 
I could let my grief turn to rage
Allow the numbness to take me away
Feel shame for being too blind to see
the horrors you were inflicting on me
 
Step-by-step
I'll work through my pain
Knowing it's you, not me
That should feel ashamed
 
My sorrow will fade
I will again see the light
Arise stronger and ready to fight
 
Know that karma 
Is not your friend
The lies
The cons
The hearts you break
will bring you only 
loneliness and regret
 
And while you grieve for what you could have had
I will have not given you a second thought
I will die surrounded by endless love
While you wither away cold and alone
Wishing and longing for my hand to hold 


Writing Prompt
Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression.

Author Notes
I know there is no structure to the number of lines in each stanza, but it felt right to me. I would love to know what you think.
