They lie
Because they
Don’t want you
To worry
Or because
They do
They want
To be strong
Because they
Are supposed to
But no one
Ever told them
Exactly what
That meant
They need
More than
Any one person
Could ever
Give them and
They blame you
When you can’t
Provide it
Even as you
Tear out your soul
In a vain attempt
To repair their
Broken one
With your own
Spare parts
They don’t
Ever ask where
It comes from
Never would have
Entered their minds
And that’s why
You love them
And you hate them
Oh, sometimes you
Just can’t help it

More often than not the things that you love about a person are exactly the same things that you hate about them. And that’s just the way it is. If you were smarter it would stop you, but you’re not so it never does. People just break your heart. Which is the only way you know you have one.
