Hearts
I’ve never given mine
to someone
who gave me theirs in return
Those I have been given
I’ve crushed
and left there
in a pool of blood and tears
Only to realize later
what I had done
what I have lost
I know now
some of them were worth
taking care of
But no,
I broke them
like some fucking brat
who didn’t get what she wanted
for Christmas
So now I’m alone
my heart is my own
and the one I want
belongs to someone else
I deserve that
Until I learn
what to do
with hearts
