Pushes
I hear you’re over it.
 That she means nothing. 
 But while they point all ten fingers at each other,
 I point but one.
 At myself.
 Thank you, my darling,
 for letting me know that I meant nothing too. 
 You constantly say that 
 you can be trusted,
 but with so many blades in my spine,
 it’s hard to see anything clearly. 
 You’ve become the MVP of a game
 that only you know how to play.
 A trampoline that bounces whatever I say
 back at me, 10 times harder. 
 Avoidance is a harsh punishment,
 don’t you think?
 That’s it.
 The rose-colored glasses are coming off.
 You have neither reason nor rhyme
 to take what is not yours
 only to throw it away in the end.
 I say these things in humility,
 only wanting what is best. 
 But how to fix a heart
 that wasn’t broken in the first place?
 Ask the scars.
 Only they know.
