you broke my heart


you broke me like i was one of your promises:

you shattered my heart and threw it into the gutter

littering isn't good citizenship.

I still miss you

I still want you

I still love you

But you destroyed me so i hate that

i love you.

do you know how many times i cried for you?

how many tears i shed in your name?

you stole the breath from my lungs and the red from my cheeks and the light from my smile.

you destroyed me.

i cant breathe
