abandoned.
-to be left alone
-the be stranded, unaware.

the pain of abandonment never gets easier.
each time you meet someone,
the first thought that occurs
'they're going to leave you'
you believe them when they say wont because you hope that they wont.
then they walk away as if it were nothing,
they drop everything at the click of their fingers,
feelings are not considered- only their own.
I suppose i can try to understand,
but i never will.

the shards of a broken heart is what i had to piece together after i had lost hope.
a few pieces are the wrong way up,
i did the best i could.

the glue that holds these pieces will never break,
for i am the glue,
i will protect my paper heart til the day i die.

oh but no, quite the contrary;
i have found someone,
whom i want to love.
and so i will,
i will love with everything i have,
lord knows I've got love to give.

i know that in the long run,
my paper heart will turn to ashes,
but for some reason
its okay.

-karma

there is a follow up to this piece :)
