How not to break up with a guy:

1. Tell him you’ll be his girlfriend.
2. ...................................................

It was my first mistake
But not my last.
That one simple word –
“Yes” – led to a web
Of lies, growing thicker
Each day, silk strand
Upon silk strand
Wrapping around my helpless
Corpse, strangling me,
Suffocating me, killling me.

There was no way out.
I’d have to claw and scrape
Myself out of the non-surrendering
Prison, shredding the horrendous
Strands embalming me.

But the most horrible thing
I’d slaughter in the process
Would be a most tender,
Delicate feature,
One that can be easily damaged,
But one that cannot be healed easily:
The heart.
