and it hurts
it hurts
to love
but not be
loved back

it's a weight
that settles in my chest
a hollow ache
echoing loudest
in the quietest moments

i gave you my heart
piece by piece
willingly given

you took your hand
and wrapped it around my heart

my heart
my fragile heart
after being broken
and shattered into
a million pieces

you took your hand
you curled your fingers
around my heart

and you crushed it
again
and again
and again

over
and over
and over

and still i let you
i let you watch me break
i let you put me back together
piece by piece
only to break me
again.
why did i let you?
