"I began to realize how important it is to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it, and above all become passionate about it."-Dr Suess


I’m done questioning whether I should go near the fire that might burn my skin
I’m done questioning what could have been
I lost my hope, I lost my saviour
Just to find out his words never correlated with his behavior
The tears I cried, the bulb inside of me that is struggling to be bright
Do not represent weakness; but rather my sacred ability to fight
He led me into what I thought was a paradisical land
But only to leave me into a painful void that would only continue to mercilessly expand
My heart smashed on the floor and there it was; destroyed
But I picked it up and fixed it into something that he or anyone else will never again toy
His personality had me enticed
Which is why I was drowning in cowardice
I thought he saw me the same way
I thought he also hoped everything was going to be okay
But instead: his avoidance was trying to tell me something
His actions were trying to say that what he texted meant nothing
When I'm older, I will laugh when this disgusting experience is mentioned
Because, I can now see that he always had bad intentions
 


The author's comments:

I love to read about teenagers who got brokenhearted by a boy or girl who fooled them into thinking they had the key to their happiness. I love when people realize that what they once thought was the source of all their hope was actually dangeoursly toxic. In other words, their supposed "lover" always had bad intentions.
