Love Untitled

You carried my heart in your pocket like loose change

No regard for love just using me when it was convenient

Sometimes you would even forget I was there

But the sound of glass shattering and the faint whisper of freedom yearning for wings

Would jog your memory

As the melody of my heartbeat would caress your ears

You threw me around where ever you pleased and placed me in anywhere to be left behind 

Only thinking of me when you found me where you last left me 

Treating my heart like a good luck charm, something less than the precious life I had

You carried my heart in your pocket so I decided to leave it behind

Because you broke my heart beyond repair and I needed to learn how to love myself all over again

p.s. I’m rebuilding me so I can love again…
