he yelled at me, 'I love you!'

I sighed and picked up my head to look him in his tear filled eyes,


"don't do that. don't love me. I'm an empty box. I'm an opened candy wrapper with no proof that anything was once there. I'm a lost cause. there is nothing in me left to find. so please, stop loving me," as I continue looking at him I begin to feel a burning sensation in my chest and in my eyes so I turn around to leave.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to his chest, ' don't you dare.  don't you dare walk away from me. don't you dare tell my you're empty because I know you and you're lying. you're full of shit and I won't let you tell me I need to stop loving you. I loved you when I first saw you and I fall even harder day by day, when I look into your eyes. don't you DARE tell me you're a lost cause because I found something in you. I found something in you and you can't have it back, damnit.''
