I stood there bare

You said not a word

You closed your eyes

I didn’t see it coming

You gently ripped my heart from my chest

I gasped

But not for air  

Were your big brown eyes laughing or crying?

I couldn’t tell

---

I felt the gaping hole 

My eyes now as big as yours

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing 

This heart was your home 

I fell to my knees 

Grasping at nothing

---

I took back my time

My love

My laughs 

The things I only did with you 

---

It did nothing 

You didn’t care 

Said you did,

But you knew you held what mattered

---

I hate love

But not as much as I hate you
