What Were You?

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

Were you just a wall  

where I could leave  

the heaviness of  

my emotions’ footsteps?  



Were you just a box  

for me to contain  

all of my secrets,

lock it up and walk away?  



Regardless of what

you were to me,

what was I to you?  



Was I another headache,

another heartache,

another soul-ache

to add to all the others?



Was I ever good to you?

Did I ever make you happy

even for a moment?



I can’t walk away  

knowing I hurt you

whether or not you hurt me.
