Heartbreak

Why would you do this?
I don't understand
You said you'd been hating in secret
afraid to let me know I'm not perfect
that each little word
would cause a crack
on the smooth glass bell jar
but it became too much
you've shattered the glass with one blow
and stomped on the pieces besides
you grind them beneath the heel of your boot
laughing as I cry still harder
adding insult to injury
and every cliche in the book as well
I try to fight back
but you're stronger than me
I'm branded as crazy
the latest addition to your psych ward collection
My screams are muffled
through the padded walls
You're far away laughing,
ignoring my pleas,
forgetting the good times
and all that we've learned
I scratch and I claw
and beg for repeal
but I've been declared guilty,
my sentence to serve,
the worst one of all:
I'm left
alone
