A Letter to My Someone

I hate it when you treat me like this

Like I'm nothing more than a notch in your pole

Nothing more than something you thought of at one point in time

I wonder how you talk about me

Or if you do at all

If you think about me like I think about you

Care about me half as much as I care about you

I miss your piercing, beautiful eyes on mine

Your soft touch on my cheek

Your protective arm around me

Holding me at some time in the morning that neither of us care about

Telling me with your thoughts that you'll never let me go

Then without a second thought, you're gone

Gone for longer than I can handle

So I break... and break... and crack... and fold... and rip... and split...

That's all I can say to describe when you leave

When you walk away

Leaving me to fend for myself in the storm

The rain pours down on my head like shards of glass

My ears ring longing to hear you call my name

For it to be like it used to be

I guess it's not enough for me to apologize

Not enough to say I'll never leave you

Never leave you cold and stranded

If your heart is torn as mine is

I would try to put it back together

If you would let me

You're too good for that

You can't let someone help put you back together

Piece together the wreckage that has become so familiar to me

Through the time, eaten by sorrow, lost ambition, and fear

I want to fill it with love

Love that I swear doesn't exist

Love that I swear to you I have

Love that spans a lifetime

I believe it

I believe in it

I believe in you and your heart
