No love allowed

Location

Never fond of sharing, only child mentality. 
No matter how much you pleaded, always disinclined. 
Reluctant.
 Guarded my possessions like a soldier guarding a fortress. Through my eyes you we  an angel, the Epitome of beauty and perfection not an ounce of malice in your presence, you deserved the world and anything else I could offer. 
I gave it to you, tore it from my chest and handed it to you like roses on a silver platter, 
so blindly. 
Each time you dropped it i picked it back up and handed it to you with just as much pride as the first time. When you broke it I would mend it like it never was . 
When you neglected it I would dust it off and pretend it was brand new. Even if I wanted to I couldn't get it back. you had it forever, your permanent possession.
 I always waited for you to fill that hole in my chest. For you to give me what I gave you. And you never did. The hole in my chest became darkness, 
Cold and undesirable.
 Heartless.
