I’m Not Heartless

You left me too broken    
to be loved  
   
And I know what it’s like    
to try to love something    
that’s broken    
   
you’re left barely standing    
surrounded by ruins    
of collateral damage    
covered in blood    
from wounds you didn’t afflict    
being punished for sins  
you didn’t commit    
scrambling to clean up the catastrophic mess    
of your life    
while they run off    
with pieces of your heart    
you’ll never get back    
   
Having taken what they needed    
leaving you depleted    
with deep wounds    
that may never be mended    
   
How do you consciously  
put that on someone else?    
 
I’m not sure I could live with that
