Maybe if I hold it all in long enough I'll just implode. I made the mistake, YES, mistake, of letting myself care about somebody. I was closed for business for a reason. Because people are evil and cruel and heartless and mean and terrible and selfish and awful.

I know. I'm one of them too. I'm all those things and more so God Forbid when I found somebody who didn't care I thought I had a shot at something I'd only read about in dime store novels but it was a lie and I feel sick and foolish and stupid for ever letting you near the shattered remains of what used to be my heart.

It was a delicate flower and you ripped off all the petals.
It was a priceless vase you threw against the wall.
It was an irreplaceable family photo you set on fire and watched burned.
It was all I had and you took it anyway.

Thief. Enjoy your bounty.
Trickster. Enjoy your prank.
Con man. Enjoy your disguise.
*******. Enjoy my heart break.
