Tick tock goes her heart.
A time bomb threatening to explode.
With taunting games coming into play.
There's no way out of this intricate maze.
Such a formidable act, losing oneself to the attributes of humanity.
Deceitful promises amongst lies pull the trigger of a gun.
Adamantly,
Patching the holes of all words spoken freely from their hateful lips.
With string and sharp needles to fix a shattered organ.
Catching her breath,
knowing the perceptual danger of a true fight.
For life to continue on with a stitched up heart.
Haunting thoughts drown within the memories that erupt within her mind.
Mirrored realization of oneself long gone.
Lost to the taunting game of massacred tendencies.
What had they done,
tossing around rules and discrepancies that mask her fragile identity?
Scars mastering the facade of deceitfulness itself.
With no one left but herself,
she is alone to fight the opponents of this taunting game.

This is intriguing and I can personally relate to this. Except from a man's perception and point of view. Your words are an immediate picture created in the mind. So many vivid descriptions. Very powerful , it's like the reader can almost feel what you are saying. There is life in your words. Enjoyable read.

Melancholic Wisdom
My first thought after reading this, is it reminds me of how you feel when you first split from someone that is toxic. It's like a mix of sadness and anger, but the way it actually comes out, is much more like this. Your imagery, as always, is very vivid and striking, you're a master at it.

Another one is "...needles to fix a shattered organ", it's a much more interesting way to say what you're trying to say. It's different and it's unique, which is what makes it better. I love your style of writing, it is so beautiful and vivid, and it never fails to amaze me what you can do with words.

Thank you so much, Mel. The original version of this poem was so bland and simple. Will be going through most of my old poetry, and rewriting what I can.
