Broken

[bk_writer]

I gave you my heart intact and unbroken.
I gave you my soul, with your words softly spoken.
I cherished your laugh, so rich and deep.
A touch on my hand took away all my grief.

I proceeded with caution but soon lost my guard.
I put my trust in you, taking no regard.
I lost my heart to you, knowing no harm.

An unspoken look told us everything,
never needing words accompanied.
We talked to each other with no one knowing.
No one having a clue what was being said unspoken.

My heartbeat would quicken when in your presence.
The feeling so serene that nothing could happen.
When your arms held me, I was safe and protected.
I never wanted to leave your arms, for the protection would be broken.

Then the walls started falling one by one,
the place that was calm was now a war.
I felt lost and with you I did plea.
But you never heard my silent pleas.

The heart that wasn’t broken, is now shattered in pieces.
You broke it so many times,
without regard to me.

You apologized thinking that everything would be fine.
But a fairy tale is not my life.
I said that I could never forgive you,
it would be impossible to try.

Now you’re forgiven, but I won’t lie.
I will never forget the pain that you caused me inside.
My heart is slowly being put together,
one piece at a time.

I only have one fear,
that I will never be whole inside.
