• “Bruising of the Heart”
    By Sarah aka Vampire Girl
    April 26, 2011

    I feel a tear roll down my cheek
    Black with the eyeliner I put on that morning
    I rub it and the new tears in my eyes away
    Smearing my makeup but not caring
    Trying to breathe through the sobs
    Gasping for air as if this news is choking me
    The sick feeling creeps into my stomach
    As I find out someone I didn’t want to know
    Laying on my bed trying to tune out the world
    Curled up in a frightening fetal position
    Staring at the phone and waiting painfully
    For the slow to come response
    I haven’t felt this way in years
    I realized though the situation is different
    My heart didn’t shatter or even broken
    But it still hurts a lot
    I think I know what being punched in the gut feels like
    Only in the heart with a massive bruise as proof
    The lies he told ran straight into it
    Now my heart bares a mark of black and blue
    It will fade soon and become only a memory
    But at the moment it stings like hell
