You treat them as if 

They have a heart like yours

But not everyone can be 

As soft and tender as you

You look for the good 

Forgetting all the bad,

And confusing emotions they brought upon you

When they left

But how can you be so empathetic 

When they are willing to hurt you 

All over again

You are strong,

But not enough to say no

Instead,

You need to have the empathy

You have for others 

And be empathetic for yourself 

There is a fine line between

Selfish and careful

By being careful it makes you smarter,

And shows that you have taken 

The negative emotions,

Crumpled them up in a ball 

And have thrown them away with no intent of going back

Because in the end,

Not everyone can be as soft 

And tender as you.
