drafts of yesterday

Heartless

Could you steal all their love
if they gave you their all?
would you tear out their heart
with their back against a wall?

Could you keep up pretence
when their tears haven't dried?
would you leave them exposed
with nowhere to hide?

Could you hurt their feelings
if you knew they couldn't cope?
would you fill them with lies
then give them false hope?

Could you ask them to meet
then meet someone stronger?
would you spiral them into oblivion
when you wanted them no longer?

-- a person might appear in your mind, while you are caught in a certain loop of guiltiness as you read every word enclosed with such painful emotion and you question yourself, what does this make you as a person? Heartless?
