Heartless
More often than not is it assumed
I do not have a heart
I shun those who attempt to know me
Before anything can start
But these past few months I've come to learn
That having a heart's not so bad
I've let myself trust, and open up vulnerability
And for that I am glad.
I never meant to hold back
I did so, but didn't realize
That you needed more than simply words
Frustration brimmed in your eyes
I wanted us to work
To have what happy couples do
But slowly I was pushing you away
And I never even knew
You're an amazing person
With so much life and honest bliss
Our intimate moments, our laughs and goals
Are what I'll truly miss
Now we travel our own directions
Approaching the fork where our paths must part
Just know I'll always care so much for you
You'll hold a place forever dear in my heart.
