I Gave You The World And You Shattered It

Inspired by My Own Book Series

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.
