It's 6 o'clock
and I check my phone.
Is he online? Yes.
For me? No.

Bits and Pieces VII

I loved you with my whole heart. 
You loved me with your fingertips.

And I hate myself for loving so hard.
For standing out  in the thunder and lightning
for someone who was blind to it all.

Because no matter what I do
You are still in my heart.

I thought you loved me
And my broken pieces too.
I thought your touch could save me.
That your touch was the cure.

Now that I look at myself
I know that that's not true.
So maybe I  do deserve to be burned, 
along with all those bridges,
I’ve so desperately made for you.

My mind keeps saying
'Realize your worth.'
I tell myself,
'I will get through this alone.'

I won't.

   I never wanted anything perfect. 

   Just an ordinary, corrupt

   human Love.
