Eat My Words

Compartmentalizing

Someone once told me
that some people
will have a special place
in your heart

So
I imagined
My heart
having rooms

Each person in my family
had their own place
each was equal
and fully furnished

And as time went on
Some rooms shrank
and some grew
Others rooms were made

But i still loved all of those people
until 
one
day

Don't get me wrong
I still do love them all
Its just
something happened

I met Someone
A person
They seemed to
outweigh everyone else

They pushed people to the outer edges
of my heart
and took up a gaping portion
of my heart

But
there was a catch
that Person 
Didn't know.....

So
i have no love in that portion
it just sits there
aching
