Ruined Heart

When I see you,

all I think about is

the way she might

hurt you, how you

might feel.

It breaks my heart.

I don't want you to

ever feel that way.

The small rips in a

Heart, only to all add

Up and leave only

Small remnants of a

Once wholesome

Soul.

You deserve better.

I think about how if

you loved me, we

would be different.

How I would cherish

you, make sure your

heart never hurt.

You've been through

more than anyone

should have to.

I want to wrap you in

my embrace and keep

you from harm.

I want to keep the sweet

shine in your eyes and the

color in your cheeks.

I want to see your smile,

and protect it.

But I can't.

You just go back to her.

To the heartache, drama

and trouble.

When you need me, when

she breaks you down,

I'll build you back up. Simply

because that's what I've

always wanted to do.

I'll always be here for you

No matter how much it might

Ruin me.
