you broke my heart.
you took a piece.
you maneuvered that small piece
to make me believe that you cared.
me being me, I believed you.
maybe you cared
maybe you loved me
maybe you wanted me.
but you didn't want anything with me
and I wanted everything with you.
I wanted a friendship
I wanted to tell you why I love the sky
I wanted to look at you and think I'm lucky.
I used to look at you
and thin that I was worthless.
maybe because of what people told me.
maybe because of the way you looked at me.
but maybe,
just maybe,
it's because you could've looked at me,
with your comforting yet dangerous eyes,
and I fell deeply in love again.
after you hurt me.
after you took my heart just to break it.
after you made me cry every night.
and you know that you
could've looked at me,
and I would forgive you instantly.
you don't love me
you don't care about me
you don't want me.
but it's okay.
I forgive you for everything.
for every night that I've cried.
for every day I fall apart when I look at you.
for every time you look at me the way you do.
because,
I love me
I care about me
and I want so much for me.
so walk by me.
give me that look.
wonder in my mind at night.
but I promise you,
I will never cry or think of you
the way I used to.
because your eyes are just brown.
your humor is just sarcasm
your little laugh is just a snort.
but you still broke my heart.
