i’ve built myself up brick by brick
and you tear me down with a whispered “i love you” and a tender touch.
how easy it was for you to set off a self destructive bomb inside of me that counted down the seconds until you left and-
BOOM
words of feelings and betrayal explode out of me
filling up blank space with every detail of how you clawed your way inside me,
picked apart my mind,
took what you thought was worth something,
and then you left when you decided i was finally worthless.
now i am left in ruins.
