I was okay
I thought
I was ready for heart break
when I was seven years old
and the most important man in my life
left.
I thought I would be okay
with a broken heart
when the only friends I've ever had
walked away
with harsh words on their trail
I knew I would be fine
when all the boys that summer
said to me
"it meant nothing"
I knew
I was okay
with heart break
when the boy I loved
left me behind
for drugs
I never thought
I would replay
the words you said
over and over
I never knew
that someone like you
would show me
what actual heart break is
I never saw
myself wasting time
writing words about you
that you will never read
