The Heartbreaker: A New Poetic Piece That Tugs at Emotions

The Heartbreaker

The Heartbreaker
The Heartbreaker
She said she was leaving me
Today.
She called me selfish.
Because she said
I consistently found ways
To take away the smiles I gave.

She said I was a heartbreaker.

She said she was leaving
To go back to her peace of mind
The kind she had
Before she fell for me
And the special way
I made her feel.

She said I was a girl wrecker.

She said she was leaving me
Not because she didn’t love me
But because she was giving
All her love to me while
She forgot how to
Love herself.

She called me a mind-controller.

She said she was leaving
Because she didn’t like the way
I dominated her thoughts
Throughout the day and
Into the nights.
She said it would have been ok
If they were all beautiful thoughts
But there weren’t.

She said she was leaving me
Today, because I was
Her heartbreaker.
