You fall too fast too quick they say But who are they to tell you how to feel How to love How to care I was taught from a young age that if I don’t give love what’s the point of living I held that close to me as a I grew up Loving everyone and everything to come my way Because maybe just maybe if I loved them they would go and share love with others But life doesn’t work that way I fell in love with people who didn’t love me Who didn’t care Who barely batted an eye as they ripped my heart from my chest leaving it hollow, smirking as they carelessly dropped it when they left shattering what I thought was my biggest asset in life My mom didn’t warn me of that She didn’t warn me of those who would do anything in their power to steal the happiness from your very own skeleton to fill the empty holes in theirs But still I loved I loved with everything I had left in me Until there was nothing left Maybe that’s why I feel so empty Because I gave all I could to get nothing in return My mom said just wait, someone will come and fill you back up But mom don’t you see that’s not how life works I think I finally figured it out You give love and sometimes you don’t get it back But when you feel empty no one can fill those crevices in your aching body besides you You are your own greatest love So continue to spread love But never forget to love yourself
