Escapism

25

i understand that you've had
your heart stomped on,
trampled on,
broken and
torn apart.

i understand that you've needed
time to heal.

i understand that you've healed now
and are doing much better.

but your heart and mind has numerous firewalls when i try enter.

and neither my heart or mind has a password.

i need you to understand
that everyone has gone through what you have,
including me.

my image of you has no fault.

you can't keep treating me
as if i'm the one that made you stop believing.

i'm not her.

- dealing with a heart that i didn't break.
