The Final Straw

Folder: 
Dedications

For all the times

I've felt pain

over the years,

you have hurt me

the most.

 

When my heart

was broken last,

I thought 

you would heal it. 

 

But you were 

the reason 

my life spiraled.

 

You are the cause

of my self-destruction,

the reason

for my demise.

 

All my mistakes

I owe to you;

all my bad luck 

stems from you. 

 

When I look back,

I have you to

thank for everything

that went wrong. 

 

And here I am,

in ruins,

and you have no idea.

 

You don't know

the effect your rejection

had on the course 

of my life.

 

It was the last string

of a series of betrayals,

the final straw

that wrecked me.
