Liquefied Heart

Want or need
We failed to tell the difference
Love or lust
We failed to see the picture
Victory or an easy pass
They let us go either way

Mistook your idleness and aimlessness as wanting to spend time with me
Mistook your sweet words and 'dutiful' chivalry for charm
Mistook your calls and endless texting as love

Ha!As though you ever cared about anyone but yourself
As though you didn't jump around,poking everything with a skirt on

You promised the moon and delivered space junk,
The sun but all you did was burn my heart
My poor,fragile heart.

My heart which I gave to you without questioning reason
My heart which was once whole,which is now empty and dark

Because as you left you took it with you
My melted cold heart
You let it drip as you walked away at noon
All over the wooden floor and even in the carpet grass

My liquefied heart which I entrusted to you.
