I gave it to you.

Wrapped up, with the prettiest bow you ever did see.

Knowing you, I can trust you.

With my trust, along with the gift, you can never fail.

But if you did, I would be broken.

Do you want me to be broken?

I guess you do.

Because when you opened the gift, you looked at me with disgust.

How can my gift be disgusting?

My gift was anything but.

Although, I suppose that's what I can expect from you.

How else would you take it?

You wouldn't understand.

The gift was my heart.

My love.

My soul.

My everything.

But now, I'm just a broken fool, with an empty box.

Because you took my heart, and broke it into little pieces.
