How She Feels

Friends

"We're just friends."

And with those blunt words

Her heart collapsed

Because truthfully she wished

To be so much more

His lips which once spouted laughter

Now eased out painful words

Crushing her soul without care

A heartbroken girl stood laughing

A hurricane composed of tearful grins

And it reached out waiting

Taunting the pits of her belly

Asking to come and welcome the world

She couldn't bear to hear the click of him hanging up

Rather she heard the rushing of cars out her window

And the drum of her own heart fighting

Worthless thoughts that wished to poke in

Causing her insecurities to rush back

A sea of painful words

The worst of them coursing through her veins

Stupidly mistaking "I love yous"

For the romance of good mornings

Love she craved in another

Hoping she could make him whole

With little pieces of herself

She broke off thinking she would need them no longer

But she didn't realize she was giving too much

Or maybe she did and that was the beauty of it
