The Cold Truth

The Cold Truth. 

I wouldn't lie to you about how I feel. 
You deserve better. 
I won't kiss you because it'll feel real. 
And you deserve better. 
I can't give you what you're asking for, 
I can't give you what you need. 
But I can give you my honesty, 
So take it please. 
My heart doesn't stop when I hear your name, 
Don't let yours so the same for me. 
I'm terribly sorry. 
             
           •••••••••

He said to me. 
It knocked me away like a tree 
From a harsh summer breeze. 

How was I to function after something like that? 

All the pieces that I've put together with the glue of my fairytale.. 
 
It's broken. 

My soul..

What soul? 

I am now hollow. 
 
At least, he was honest, right? 

Someone tell me that's the bright side...
