Writing Prompt

Your love is like an arrow

Laced with poison

My sight was narrow

When I let your voice in

I told myself it was love

It was manipulation

You put me on like a glove

Your affection was my imagination

You made me apologize

For things you did

Writing poems of my demise

How we were never ever friends

And now I’m done

I’m cutting the string

Before you shoot your gun

Remember, it was good for you, b...

Why are the thoughts in my head so violent

I’m trying

I’m not enough

I’m starving but I’m barely surviving

I hate hiding these cuts

Panic attacks around every corner

I’m so **dramatic**

****

What is it like to love myself

Jump? cut? Hang myself?

I want to go

Please take me away

It hurts to much

No one cares or notices

Maybe if I take more antidepressants

What if I overdose?

Maybe I should do d...

I thought we were meant to be

Oh the irony

That “be” is a verb

And together,

We never did anything

We were never compatible

Never quite clicked

But I in my young stupidity

I thought we’d sail our ship

And I’ll still read our texts tonight

And I’ll still cry over you

Even though you’ve moved on

And found someone new

And I’ll remember you when I look at the horizon

And I’ll feel like falling do...

I wait and wonder

Will he come tomorrow

But then I remember

You love is like an arrow

Laced with poison

Deemed to kill

Never knowing whose blood

It will spill

And yet it always my bleeding heart

That falls out

My heart that get broken

With love, or without...

I tried to keep my life on the path

Of straight and narrow,

But then I was faced with your wrath,

Your love is like an arrow…

Laced with poison.

The toxic

Vibes you gave me,

They made me sick,

I needed you to leave me be!

Your arrow struck me in the chest,

You struck me when I wasn’t at my best,

This arrow wasn’t one of love, it seemed

To be one of poison instead, I deemed.

All the shit you put...

Your love is like an arrow laced with poison,

I’ve ripped it from my heart, yet still it flows,

Through my veins like deadly heroin,

Tightening its grip around my soul.

Each beat is a reminder of the pain,

A toxic rush that I cannot evade,

Your love, a poison coursing through my veins,

Leaving scars upon the heart that it invades.

Yet still, I ache for your forbidden touch,

A masochistic dance, ...

Your love is like an arrow, laced with poison

Drawing me like a moth to light

Cherry red lips dipped in crimson

Light blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight

Warm hugs and smiles delude me so

You act as if I am your only

When the kisses you give are readily bestowed

Leaving me up at night, wondering why I’m so lonely

The next morning I’m up early

To get ready to go to another solemn party

I can’t he...

This isn’t love.

This is painful.

You want to be with me.

Yet you are unfaithful.

You cheat and you lie.

You apologise and cry.

Then I forgive you like I always do.

Your love is like an arrow laced with poison.

Will this vicious cycle ever end?...

I gave him the world,

in hopes he’d love me.

He gave it back cold.

I gave him the stars,

in hopes he’d stay.

He gave back embers.

I gave him the oceans,

in hopes he’d be mine.

He gave me the vapor.

I gave him my heart,

in hopes he’d take it.

He gave me the arrow.

I gave him my back,

in hopes I’d forget.

He gave me the knife.

“Your love was an arrow, laced with poison.” And I fell for it like ...

Your love is like an arrow laced with poison

Here you are laughing now my heart is broken

You said you loved me then took it back

I want to go back to what we had

I thought my heart was safe with you

But you took that arrow and pushed it right through

My love for you will never change

I just wish you felt the same...
