Broken Butterflies and other poems [NOT for people who get easily triggered!!]

Goodbye

I'm scared to fall.
I'm scared to get hurt.
I'm afraid you'll leave me
without another word.
You won't even tell me why,
the only thing you'll leave me with
is the word "goodbye".

How will I deal?
What will I say?
All this will be to me
is another game I don't have to play.
My heart is already broken.
My heart is already worn.
I need to find all the pieces
that you tore.

Why did you do it?
What did I do wrong this time?
I knew you would leave me
in the blink of an eye.
It's funny what they said.
If only you would have known
I've liked you since the day we met.

You used to pick me up when I fell.
Now, I'm just another boy you knew so well.
I love how we could share secrets
and maybe we still can.
But first we should let both our hearts mend.
Did it really hurt you as much as it did me?
I guess that's just another thing we will have to see.

I really do love you.
I really do care.
I just wish that I had a heart
that you decided to spare.
