"My heart is inside-out" he said.
"I think of nothing but you".
I turn away, ashamed
Of what I have done and must do.
He bleeds, breathes and suffers for me.
I asked him once to stop.
"I'm a big boy.
I know what I'm doing.
I can handle non-chalance."
He boosted me when I was low.
Took in my rejected self.
He showed me love and gave me hope.
All I gave him was hell.
I've known the sting of unrequited love.
And still I dealt him this blow.
I'll remember him always,
Not with love
But how he re-introduced me to the world.
