The Breakup

My mom's word's ripped through my head "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." But when you're 15 and you find that one person that becomes the source of all your happiness. Being that young, being that in love, being that dumb. The odds of winning the lottery were greater than me listening to my mom's advice. But dang, how I wish I listened because mom was right. Someone took my basket and I was left eggless.
