Heartbroken.

You've started backing off,
Pushing me away.
Slowly and slowly, I see it everyday.
The look in your eyes,
You look at me like a bother.
Like its a job that you're supposed to hug me everyday.
A job you're tired off,
A bother, something you'd get rid off.
You've set to break my heart.
I know you'll break my heart,
Leave me heartbroken but do it gently.

When I cried under that tree the other day,
You said you had to take that phone call.
Hiding away in the corner,
Waiting for all the signs of my tears to fade away.
You came back, faking that smiling.
Twitching towards running away.
Leaving me there,
Leaving me at the time I needed you the most.
Yesterday I slept blank, covered in the lies.
Haunted by the breaking of the dawn,
It was great, having you here.
Having you right by my side...almost.
When I cried, when I screamed to my misery.
My pleads for these times to go away.
But you helped me learn these things.
You hardened my shell but putting me through this.
But you never told me how to not shatter.
You broke my heart.
Left me heartbroken, you did it gently.
