Love Poem: One's Last

One's Last

I screamed out your name 
over and over,
as if you were standing 
right there 
listening to my despair.

No, you don’t even care 
to come back for me.
Why didn’t you 
come back for me? 

I sprawled on the floor 
squeezing my chest hard 
as I silently felt 
my veins bursting 
out of control 
while waiting 
for you to come to my rescue.

But you never did
you never did 
You were never true
those gestures, 
those words, 
were just 
a game for you
