The Rantings of a Broken Heart

I was watching "Vanilla Sky". Have you seen it?? I've seen it before, but rented it again since it's been so long ago that I first watched it. This movie completely freaks me out every time! In fact, I've had to turn it off twice today. Anyway, it inspired this rant. Enjoy!

Rantings of a Broken Heart©

I should have known
You would never get that close
Your touch was never as sincere
As your words.
You used me, behind my back
Letting my mind wrap around
Some idea of you and I together
You knew, from the beginning
That you would never truly
Ever let that happen.
I believed you.
I always believed everything you said
As if you only spoke truths
That all your promises were
Somehow unbreakable
Why couldn't you just tell me
That this grand idea I had
Was some false childhood
Story that would end soon
They always end too soon.
And now, wrecked and abandoned,
Lying in bed exhausted from the
Mental drain and physical fatigue
Of wailing and bawling,
Yelling to God "Why? Why me??"
There you are, your face in a frame
Staring at me with those eyes
That lied to me over and over again.
And I find myself thankful that
You can't see me right now
With my makeup smeared across my face
And my nose puffy and snotty.
I think "he'll never come back
If he sees me like this."
You won't be back anyway, will you?
This is now beyond the end.
We've reached the credits and bloopers
But I feel that you are the only one laughing.
