Untitled...for now

**not all poems are based on the personal experiences of the writer**

hoping to be swallowed into your sinking sand of love
i was only met with the bitter taste of unreciprocated affection
i made the first move
and put my neck on the line
an invisible line that is the caged barrier of your heart
i say caged because a person yearning for your affection could only slip pieces of their own hearts through small holes
and there you'd be...staring as if a heinous crime had been committed in opening up to you
but they say love is takin the risk of your heart being broken
and even though i cannot retrieve the pieces of my heart you refuse to acknowledge,
thank you for not loving me
thank you for saving me from surrendering my heart to a man who doesnt have a heart to call his own
rejection hurts but not letting yourself love is an injsutice
that brings a pain that can never be felt
