Heart

You looked at me as if I were some precious resource,

Some rarity

And that’s when I realized I wasn’t enough for you

I couldn’t give you what you needed,

What you were looking for

And while thinking this,

I started to wonder if I loved you at all,

Or if I was looking for someone to complete me

I don’t know what I want

Out of you, out of anyone

It’s as if I could never be content on my own

But a month with someone else is too much

I realize I am not easily satisfied

Perhaps I should come with a warning

“All beware! This person will make you feel

loved and needed but come the first month,

expect your heart to be broken.”

With this realization,

I have come to believe that love isn’t for me

That I should stay away before

I hurt someone else

And I shall

Until, perhaps, the day someone shows me

A love I have never known
