Torn

Your jagged breaths rip into me
Like knives upon skin
Your whispered words of envy
And hate hit upon my soul
For I don't know what to say
Or feel or do
Because I know I love you
And I wish you did too
But I'm afraid to say
For I don't know how
And the unknown is a curse
I wish I was strong enough to give
The only thing you ask
I know it is because of me
That my heart was torn to shreads
I can't put into words what you mean to me
It's like you are more than just another someone
I would do anything to change your views
But I am not strong enough for that

You have made that quite clear
I can not do this on my own
And yet there is nothing more I want in this world
Then to see a pure smile of true ecstacy
Light up your broken face

She broke his heart? That's what it seems like. Excellently written, good word choices and it's powerful - I know how this feels, I can relate to this well.
