A terrific tragedy

Once upon a time not long ago,
there was a man with a heart so broke.
He wore his heart upon his sleeve,
and everytime it was broke, he made it bleed.
Over time much blood was shed,
cause the love of his life played with his head.
He hurt so much, he wished he was dead,
all the way to his hospital bed.
See the man had had enough,
of being played by his love.
A swipe on the wrist was all he'd need,
to make his broken heart complete.

About a mile away she sat at home,
with her dog feeling all alone.
Her phone started to ring and she jumped with a start,
not know she broke this poor mans heart.
She answered the phone and the doctor said,
"i'm sorry ma'am but your boyfriend is dead."
The phone left her hand and hit the ground with a clatter,
around the same time her heart began to shatter.
A few deep breaths and up came the phone,
with a shaky voice she said, "how is he gone?"
The doctor said, "he took his life,
he slit his wrist with a butchers knife."

Once again the phone hit the ground,
her silent scream didnt make a sound.
she picked it up to hear him say,
"there was a note addressed to you by the way."
she knew that she couldn't read the note,
so she asked the doctor to read what he'd wrote.

"you played with my heart for way to long,
and in the end it ended all wrong.
I didn't want it to end this way,
I remember that's what you used to say,
But I didn't want it to end at all,
but this time was the final straw.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break my heart,
I know i've been saying that right from the very start.
The horrible pain you inflicted on me,
became the end of @truly_gifted3."

She hung up the phone and began to cry,
she never thought she'd be the reason he'd die.
The front door opened and in came he,
the one that turned the two into three.
In her head she heard a dead voice,
"Don't bother to cry, you made your choice.
happily ever after is how you should be,
even though it meant the end of me."
