Broken Bones

Should the story end?

It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply

I curse my own heart for caring even when I know better

I've seen people's true colors; I've been disappointed and hurt by the same ones over and over again

And I still can't bring myself to let go

Toyed with, manipulated, and thrown away

Break my bones, why don't you?

It would heal over time, it would never be the same again and it would ache every time it gets cold, but it would hurt less than what you do to my heart

Unappreciated, mistreated, unrequited

What am I even doing?

I already know how this ends

I've been here before

Last time it almost ended for good

Maybe this time it will
