Poem_7_Fragile🥀

I know my heart is hurting,

When it shouldn't.

I know you meant nothing,

Just a compliment.

I know you're the kind of guy that is hard to get,

But you're also one impossible to forget.

You're the golden boy with a killer smile.

You can make any heart jump a mile.

You have all the girls standing in line.

It's like you loved me then said nevermind.

I'm the naive girl with a broken heart.

Hopeful, despite the times I've fallen apart.

I brought myself here, but you played a part.

Times like this, wish I had been smart.

We met yesterday and now I'm attached.

I should have known you were a far-fetch.

Or was it me? Should I have said something else?

Did you back away because of my short response?

Was it the fact that I was so closed up and tense?

Did you expect more, or just wanted to be nice?

I get that you didn't know how brittle I am.

I keep reminding myself not to fall again.

Why am I a target for the cruelest of hands?

Am I an advantage or just one of your fans?

I become so easily attached and I hate that about me.

I curse every ounce of my being for falling to my knees.

But what can I say? Your eyes drew me in.

I knew nothing of committing a sin.

My mind went blank when my eyes met yours..

I can talk for hours, but where do I begin?

Now I know I should have kept my walls high.

From the familiar sparks rolling down my spine,

All this while I had a strong mind,

But my tears speak of a heart so fragile.

I hold on to the little things too hard until they shatter in my hands and become shards of glass seeping into my skin, each sending an agonizing pain to my soul, and I don't think I can bare it no more.
