I'm trapped inside of my heart,
looking around things seem to be torn apart.

Signs of no occupancy for many a years,
could it be the water damage from salty tears?

Trust and Commitment seem to have left all baggage and belongings behind;
Looks as if they left in a hurry, maybe even committed a crime.

Yep, I found a chalky outline drawn around Love,
Oh wow, here's another, around Monogamous, as I look above...

As I continue my stroll, there seems to be more,
Yes a crime was definitely committed here for sure.

Oh, no this can't be,
Is this a chalky outline around Trust and Commitment I see?

They seemed to have died together holding hands,
Could this crime have been committed by one man,
Or the combination of many, plenty even.

Hold on, wait... I just found a note and it's titled " Barely Breathing"
It reads...

Dear You,
If you're reading this note it's because I've gone and done it.
I just couldn't take anymore of that false sense of loving.

Day after day, giving my ALL-Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Sowed the love I expected to reap, I even prayed..."Now I lay me down to sleep"

Yet I still seem to come up short, only managing to meet those who treated love as a sport.

I felt the walls were caving in on me, if I haven't met true love by now-it must mean it's not meant for me.

Next I want you to know, I didn't do this for show. I did it to prove a point...okay I did it because they said I won't.
...Ever leave, because I'm just too nice...believe me I contemplated my decision, more than twice.

Lies, Deceit and Drama are the main conductors. They are the ones who produced most of this torture.

Find those three and you'll find the evidence, it will lead you to PANDORA'S box and then it will all make sense.

Well my pulse seems to be getting weaker, which means I'm going from "Barely Breathing" to a "Deep Sleeper."

So I leave you with this last clue...Be careful who you give your heart to!

This note will self destruct and leave this heart broken, in 3, 2, 1... Just joking.
Save this and re-read it, as a constant reminder of how I was mistreated.

Signed
Your Heart

Watch as it unfolds...
