i am ashamed
that i cared so much about someone
who cared so little.
i am ashamed that i put my entire self-worth in his hands
and that i was naive enough to be shocked when
he broke it.
shattered it into tiny little pieces and then stepped back as if to say
what did you do that for?
look what you’ve done now.
clean it up then.
i thought i desperately needed his confirmation
but what i really needed
was my own.
i owed him
absolutely
nothing
and somehow, i still ended up with a debt to pay
