He breaks my heart
And peels my eyes
Open to the world,
No, I’m not a broken girl.
He’s the reminder
That my mask can be removed;
I don’t have to hide,
In him, I confide.
Emotional chaos
Disguised as playing victim.
He called out my delusion,
It was no intrusion.
He softens my feelings
But hardens my spine;
He nurtures me to health
And teaches me of my wealth.
Yes he breaks my heart,
He tears it wide open
So that the rivers may flow again.
He makes me feel whole again.
