I gently unwrapped the cool foil covering my heart.
I admired it with awe before looking up and giving it to you.
You take it
and I watch as you examine it.
You showered it kisses and sweet words at first.
It felt so big and whole,
it missed this kind of love and care.
Then,
You began to pull away and leave it unattended.
Finally,
Once I had a enough of your neglect, I tried to leave and take back what was mine.
You dropped it and I watched as the pieces of my poor heart scattered around.
I sobbed for hours as you left and I couldn’t bring myself to stop.
My support team came to my rescue and are helping me put the pieces together.
I’ve been through this before,
I will get over it.
But it still hurts,
knowing how easily you can discard me.
The Paramour
