The sky was gray on that day.
The wind cut into my cheeks, leaving a rosy tint.
Tears welled in my eyes,
From the wind? From the words you said?
Who knows.

As you spoke, I felt you reach into my chest,
And pull out my heart.
You crumbled it in your hand.
But you apologized, so it’s okay,
Right?

As you left, I wanted to reach into your chest too,
And pull out your heart,
And crumble it in my hands,
But I couldn’t move, I was numb.
All I felt was static.

You turned back and said
You didn’t mean it,
But your action spoke louder.

The darkness has overcome me.
I turn all of the lights off,
Pull the blankets over me.

The warmness of my blankets
Can’t comfort me enough though.
The sun has fallen down,
Followed by my tears.

No one can help me except myself,
But I’m not much help.
I can hear the static of the TV.
My Dad’s still awake.

Cry quieter.
If my dad hears me,
He’ll ask what’s wrong,
And I’m not good at expressing my feelings.

I close my eyes,
Soon I fall into full darkness.

i love you,
but in hiding.

you dont know it yet,
and i wonder if i should tell you.

maybe you feel the same way,
maybe you dont.

the uncertainty kills me.

Your lungs breathe fire
As mine blow air to extinguish you.

Your breath escapes and
I run to catch it
But you grab on to me.

I want to help you
But you won’t let me.

the person i was last year
is not the person i am today.
you took that person from me.

that day you used your words
to convince me to let you put your hands on me.
you said you would go find some else.

you ripped me from myself.
ill never get her back.

the sea breeze flushes your face red.
i wait for you to reach out for my hand.
but you dont.
you stare out to the sea, blue as your eyes.

the wind whips my face and
a tear falls down.
you notice and wipe it away and hold my face for a second.
i think youre going to kiss me.
but you dont.

i stare at you as you walk through the sand to the ocean.
you walk with purpose
and i love that.

you pick up a shell and tell me it reminds you of me.
i ask why.
you say its perfect.
i blush, blaming it on the seabreeze

the breeze starts to hurt.
you put your arm around me
and as our eyes meet
you finally kiss me.

in that moment,
you are my home.

you took apart of me with you that day you left me. the day you left me to walk back to my room crying. the day you left me to delete every memory i had of you. you took my happiness. you took my joy. you took my confidence. you made me feel small, useless, disgusting. i tried to make you feel safe. you didnt care. you cared about yourself and only yourself.

now im left to pick up to pieces of my heart by myself. people try to help, but because of you, i push them away. you made me lose my trust in everyone.
