Private Thoughts

Naive

My heart was broken,
Left to shrivel away,
With one piece missing.
The scene was horrific,
But you came,
And tried to pick up the pieces.
You weren't scared by the mess that was there,
You weren't overwhelmed by the amount of work my heart needed.
You just...helped
You helped me mop up my tears,
Gather the pieces,
And put them back together.
Not only that,
You gave me a part of your heart,
So that my heart may be full once more.
I was scared to trust again.
For the fear of the pain,
Was like nothing I had experience before.
I looked deeper into the things you said,
In fear that there was a deeper meaning.
That one day, you would just up and leave,
Just like the one before.
But you promised you would stay.
And with time I believed you...
Oh,
I was so wrong to do so.
I was so naive,
So hopeful,
So stupid...
Fool me once,
Shame on you.
Fool me twice,
Shame.
On.
Me.
