Empty Hearts

..............

you took me home to rest and lay on the couch. you watched my favorite show with me and made me chinese food.

i wasn't hungry.

you started crying, and shaking, and i didn't know why, but i put my arms around you, which made you sob harder. you said that 'it' was all your fault, but i don't know what 'it' is you're talking about.

i was scared that i'd broken you, because you wouldn't stop crying. so i got up and made you a grilled cheese. when i got back, you were watching me.

you were so surprised that i had done something on my own. i was getting lots of hugs and 'i'm so proud of you's.

i didn't mind because you weren't crying.
