Open Heart

broke

i wished i taught you better
you used to have this warmth
shared it with anyone you met
i didn't notice that you got taller
but i saw the light
fade out of your eyes
as time goes by
the countless times people
have whispered good things
in your ears
and left with your treasures
you sat alone with a smile
swollen eyes
you said
i don't want to live like this
i know
the world broke you
if only i taught you better
i am so sorry
