Reciprocation

The all-consuming moment when you realize That your heart is a shattered vase, Scattered across cold black tiles. And your soul now carries a deep purple scar, The kind that cannot be healed, Generally comes with a sick realization That you too, have probably broken too many a gentle heart, And scarred too many a lonely soul, Yourself. Human nature is reciprocation. Mothers teach to do unto others As you'd have them do unto you. But how can I do this? How can I be loved and free, When all I know of love is brokenness And all I know of pure soul Comes in a 6'2", blue-eyed package That gave his away to this 5'5", blue-eyed mess.
