Poems

Give me back my heart

For months I let you lead me on. Months.
I sat around for months and waited for you name to appear on my phone.
I woke up for months and thought of you first.
I wasted months thinking that there was a possibility of you wanting me.
But I was so wrong.
I gave you little pieces of me over the course of those months.
Pieces that I was hoping would make me unforgettable to you.
You forgot me pretty easily.
I gave you a piece of my smile. I wanted you to know that you made it the biggest.
I gave you a piece of my laugh. I wanted you to know that you made it the loudest.
I gave you a piece of my light. I wanted you to know that you made it shine brightest.
I gave you a piece of my heart. I wanted you to know that you made it beat fastest.
You took all of those pieces of me. You wasted them. You abused them. You ignored them.
I want them back, and I'm taking them whether you give them willingly or not.
Give me back my smile. I'm the only one worthy of the sparkle it holds.
Give me back my laugh. I'm the only one worthy of hearing the tune it carries.
Give me back my light. I'm the only one worthy of using it in the dark.
Give me back my heart. I'm the only one worthy of my endless love.
