tell them it didn’t hurt, tell them you’ve grown teeth. that no boy can hurt you, not those with smiles as soft as the canines embedded into your tender flesh, not those with love in their gentle eyes.
tell them you run with the wolves, tell them you’re not the boy they once knew. that you didn’t give your heart away, not to him, who held you like you were something precious, not to him, who kissed you breathless, like his existence depended on it.
tell them you’re not in love, tell them your heart died, suffocated in his perfect deception. that you aren’t capable of love, not anymore, not ever, not with him.
tell him you have no heart left to break.
