we started off like a fire,
burning bright, intense,
you brought me chocolates the first time we met,
two simple things, but they meant the world

i loved you, god, i loved you so much,
but the second time, something broke,
i couldn’t take even one,
like i was trying to choke down the truth

on my birthday, i blocked you,
****** up and fed up,
i couldn’t stand the thought of you,
surrounded by all those people,
too many faces, too many hearts,
and i felt like i was just another in line

so why did you come back?
why did you crawl back into my life,
after i pushed you away?
why did i get that apology,
that long-*** rant, those words
that cut deeper than any silence?

i read them all, every **** word,
and still, i blocked you again,
like i was trying to protect myself
from the love that kept pulling me in

you were my situationship,
but to me, you were more,
and now i’m left with this emptiness,
wondering why we couldn’t make it work

i blocked you to save myself,
but all i did was tear us apart,
and now, even after everything,
i still can’t get you out of my heart
