I loved you, with every fibre of my being. Every muscle, every heartbeat, every breath and every instance. When I was with you, all I knew was to make you smile, make you happy, make you treasure every moment so I kept my heart open for any piece of vindictive criticism you had for me. I wore every part you liked and discarded every part you despised. I tried and tried to make sure I could build myself into your dreams like the way a person would mix and match ice creams fulfilling their every need. I will no longer choose to make you happy, I will no longer choose to make you smile because while that was fun and warm; I am choosing myself. I will not chase the imaginary dragon like a ****** addict chasing another fix by fixing myself for you. I will not choose to make you happy anymore. Do not look to me for love, the love I felt for you has died. Our moments have cascaded like snowflakes melted by the scorching sun. Do not look to me for love, my love for you is like a cadaver floating with the currents in a canal. I will not love you again not the same way that I used to, that I could. I have loved you from every starlit moment to every sunny day. Take it from a guy willing to risk his life to remind you that you are beautiful every moment; I have been deceived by an optical illusion that lays heavy like a contusion in the mind. I knew I was blind but unsure as to how blind, because beauty doesn't come from a pretty exterior but a heart that soaks in all forms of kindness. I gave you every piece of me just so you could rip it apart, piece by piece. I hope you cherish every hurtful moment with ease; you are lucky not to live with the same bitter blue saddened memories I will carry in my life. Do not look to me for love- I no longer know how to love you.

- from he who let you break him apart.
