you gave them all of your attention.
your love
patience
time
an ear to listen
a shoulder to cry on

you picked up their broken shards,
and your hands got cut up
but you didn't care as long as they were okay.

you carefully put their pieces back together,
and took some from yourself to close up the patches.
a masterpiece,
they were a masterpiece, right?

but once you were finished
and they were complete and you are left empty,
they didn't like your cut up hands, it wasn't pretty
so now with your pieces they will find another,
and no one is there to put you back together.

but who am i to complain?
since they never called for me in the first place.
