He Said...

Words vs. Action

He said: "Be careful with my heart. Although I am a man, I have feelings too."

But, he mismanaged mine.

He said: "I'll never revisit the past. Its the past for a reason. You are my present."

But, he hopped into a time machine and visited the past, leaving me broken in the present.

He said: "I'm selfish, so from this day forward, you are mine and I am yours."

But, he invited others into our world without a second thought or remorse, and chaos erupted.

He said: "I want to be thought about and considered."

But, he did not reciprocate.

He said: "I appreciate your transparency. You tell people the good, bad and the ugly of a situation. Not everyone does that."

But, he kept secrets. He held in the bad and the ugly and only gave me fragments of the good.

So, what he really said was: "I still have one foot in my last situation. I'm not emotionally ready to start over. I think you're dope, but instead of being COMPLETELY honest about where I am emotionally, I'm just going to completely fuck your world up without remorse. Why? Because I am selfish and the only one allowed to have justifiable feelings.

And now I'm here: Broken
