#heart broken

I’mbroken….

An empty love.
Filled to the brim with high hopes.
He’s put his heart in plastic palms
His faith in paper souls
Searching for something real
Deceived by playing roles.
He’d tell her she looks pretty
She’d compliment him back
His breath was empty promises
His heartbeat hollow cracks.

An empty love requited
Better than a full one that is not
He fell for empty promises
Sought out beauty instead of thought
Why must he constantly seek a love
A full one to the brim
Then constantly settle
for an empty love
A love so paper thin.

A petty, plastic, cracked glass love
A hollow, skimpy, half assed love.

He deserved a love so full above
The brim that is unmet.
But settled for the easy love
His broken safety net.

He gave himself away too quick
Spread himself too thin
Looking for love outside himself
Before finding it within.

And when you look at me

I swear I can’t breathe
