Meeting you wasn’t easy.

In a matter of seconds my world flipped.

I decided to hide-it was easier than telling you the truth, my truth.

I watched the world chip away at your heart;

Giant pieces removed until there was no heart at all;

The weight of grief had turned it to a heavy ball.

I held the ball in my hands,

My love became too hot-

Metal burned again but I could not

Let go.

I burned holes through myself as I wore it in my heart;

With every embrace another hole was bored showing more and more of my insides-

You can see through me now.

I don’t have anything to hide,

But I don’t want you to know that the holes you made in me have left me bleeding
