someone once told me
that liking someone was selfish.
the heart was a poison
that made you do and say things
you wouldn't normally.
but i was foolish,
and i didn't listen.
so i opened up my heart,
and let it rule my head,
wanting you all to myself,
wanting to be something
in your eyes.
but i was too greedy,
and irrational,
and i put people on the line
for the sake of one,
who in the end,
left me broken.
and while i know
i should start leaving
my heart inside,
where it won't get bruised
or damaged,
that could never happen,
when a single glance,
bursts my chest wide open -
vulnerable,
to you, and your
selfish desires.
