"I don't love you."

With those words,

My heart broke.

All summer's waiting,

For this?

I'll admit it,

I cried,

My walls crumbled,

I let a few tears slip.

I never said i was strong,

And I'm nowhere near beautiful,

But I still have feelings

I thought this time

It'd be safe to open up.

Look where it got me,

Discarded like an old toy.

But who cares?

I'm a shattered statue,

nothing more.

I thought he loved me,

I guess not,

But I loved him.

I don't want to cry,

I knew it'd happen,

but i hoped otherwise.

I give up.

Thanks for a lie.
