Love Hurts

I never knew what they meant by: "love hurts" until it happened to me
Two months isn't that long but it felt like an eternity 
Wasted
Gone
Thrown away by your selfish acts 
I knew it couldn't be saved, when we  didn't spend as much time together,
When I was only happiest when I kissed you goodbye,
When you refused to hold me when I was down- 
To pick up my broken pieces 
Scattered on the ground-
When all you did was look at me when my anxiety took over
When my depression took over-
When I took over  
I knew that you didn't care anymore
Care enough anymore-
I mean I always told you that I needed to be loved,
That I needed to be understood,
That I needed you,
But when I gave you the hammer to tear down my walls,
You just watched and waited,
You just watched and waited and thought.
When I took my walls down piece by piece
Brick by brick,
You told me to keep going,
You didn't help.
You didn't lift a finger,
Even though there were so many layers of protection,
So many tiring layers 
When I slowed down you yelled,
When I sped up,
You didn't care. 
You never cared. 
So now this is me
Not caring
Because now I understand why love hurts,
Now I understand because of you
