Failed Me Poem by Gabrielle Tastet

I have no choice.
I have to trust you.
If I lose this trust,
I have nobody and I’ll be alone in the bleak world
Once again.
The bruises I have on my heart,
They are your fault,
But you blame me.
I accept this graciously,
Because I love you.
I need you.
I can’t live without you.
You tell me I have to,
So I guess I have to.
Scarlett lines run down my skin
As you lay down to sleep,
So do I for the last time.
I hope you know that you didn’t owe me anything.
