There is an empty feeling in my chest,
and I sought to fill it.
I craved affection, and attention
and you delivered.
I fell too quickly, even though I told myself not to.
I got attached, even though I knew better.
But your kind words, and kinder eyes convinced me to go against my barriers
You convinced me to let down my walls.
And I fell, thinking you would catch me.
That was not the case.

I fell, and fell, and just kept falling.
It happened so fast, but felt like it took forever.
The realization that you didn't want me.
You were playing a game,
I was just a pawn....
and when it got a bit too real...
You backed out.

Just when I started to trust you,
You lied.
Just when I thought, I might love you
You laughed in my face.
And walked away.

This void in my chest,
now filled with shattered glass.
Left over shrapnel from feelings
that I shouldn't have developed in the first place.
I should have known.....
I should have known.....
After all.....why would you want ME?
