you want me raw and honest
open and vulnerable
but why the fuck don’t you understand
that peeling away parts of me
results in peeling myself  and
it causes immense pain and
even after all the peeling
you won’t find anything in here
for I am just an empty shell

hearts can break. yes, hearts can break. sometimes i think it would be better if we died when they did, but we don’t.
