6 Months of Pained Love

6 months of waiting around and hoping that
You would love me the way I loved you, but
I thought wrong. You squished me fully flat
Like a bug. You always knew in your gut
That you did not love me, but you loved
The idea of our relationship and the idea of
Us together in your head. Darling, your gloved
Hands were protected as you ripped the love
Right from my heart and stomped all over it.
Mine were not so clean anymore as I tried
To stop the bleeding. Two puzzle pieces that fit
Together do not anymore. Your tears dried
Up right away as it took a while longer for mine
To do the same. Maybe you never cared at all.
You unwrapped the cords and every vine
That held us together. My solid and brick wall
Went right back up after you destroyed it brick
By brick. It is you that got your fresh start
Somewhere else. I am going back to being thick
Minded and protective of my heart.
