u hurt me, u broke me
u had me, u told me
words that i longed to hear
about how you cared for me
and would never want to hurt me.
u held me and showed me that love
had no worries, no care of life
it can be expressed as loudly or as
softly as i'd like.
u cared for my thoughts, feelings
and listened when i spoke
but somewhere along my words
you heard your own and decided to
follow that voice.
our bond is not the same
our love is not the same
you and i are not the same
i'm free to let you go, while
dissecting myself to find out why
i'm so free...
it's disconcerting at times to know that
i let you go
you, the person who knows all my secrets
you, the person who knows all my faults
you, the person who i trusted with my heart
i showed you bits and pieces of my soul
hoping to unveil the canvas of my life
but we could never get there
due to your misconceptions of my artwork
i'm not hurt enough to shut off
from the world,
but broken.
the pieces lay at my feet, waiting for me to
get my life back together.
