Wish For You to Feel Hurt Too

I love you… those words that I could
Have said, but you never gave me
That safe space. I wish I understood
How you saw things and to be
Less heartbroken. I wish that things
Could be reversed so I could feel
Less and you could feel your wings
Being clipped or broken. You will deal
With all of the heartbreak and with all
The bad things you put me through.
I thought that if I put up this wall
It was going to protect me and you,
But it only hurt me more that it
Did you so I pretend to be heartless.
I pretended to not care one tiny bit.
It was something that was so artless
And careless with my fragile heart.
You do not see those tear filled eyes.
Someday it will hit you like a dart
With a target. You will come to realize
That you may have lost that good girl
Who was down for you. I was a pearl.
