I Gave You The World And You Shattered It

You took my hand 

And told me to stay 

You opened my eyes 

And told me skies weren’t gray 

You told me I was enough 

And asked nothing more 

You stitched my heart 

As it bled on the floor 

You were everything.

(At least, I thought you were)

To me, It felt like you cared that much

But now I know the truth

I wish I knew

How you felt

When I gave you the world

Because you said I should be happy with what I have

So I learned to expect less

And give more

A month passed

Before I realized

I was walking through a dead-end

You said you were trying

But I know

You’ll never reciprocate that feeling

So I waited 

For you to care

For you to try

In the hopes that you would change

You never did

So I learned to stop waiting

I left

You were shocked

I don’t know how

You didn’t see

What you did

But I guess we weren’t meant to be

And I can live with that

So I search

For someone 

Who will teach me

What it feels like

To hold the world in my hands

The way you couldn’t.
