is when i realized
i gave away the love I needed most
to the people who deserved it the least

I settled & stayed
for the fear of being left empty handed
after all the time, energy & love I invested

when all along it was my fault
for being played & left broken like I meant nothing
by people I gave my heart, time & love to carelessly

if there is something I learned from a heart break
it is that we ourselves cause them
by putting our hearts in the hands
of people who were never meant to touch, experience or love it
and
we ourselves can prevent them

I started painting
painting a picture of two souls united as one
their smiles so effortless
their hearts beating each time the other is near
you could see their hearts smiling
their souls dancing with each other
sunny summer day
long walk on the park
i painted
painted them walking holding hands
he picks flowers and hands each to her every time
she sniffs them then smiles at him
smile brighter than the sun
i started painting
painting a picture in your mind
of my imagination
who knew i could control your mind like i do a paint brush
