The news went through my heart
Like a dagger freshly sharpened.
I didn't believe it could hurt so much.
I didn't realize you held my heart so.
I gave it to you slowly, over time.
Not knowing what I was doing
I held hopes of me and you,
Though I never disclosed the feelings.
You do sound happy though
And for that I am glad.
Through the shattered fragments of my heart
My tears are falling and melting the pieces.
You "adore her" as I adored you
And I held this spot just for you -
A wishful-thinking and now a breaking.
I wish the seed of thought had never been planted.
