Diary of an Accidental Heartbreaker

On the other side of a heartbreak.

Told him from the start

We'd only get so far

Then he'd hit a wall

That just might break his heart

Didn't take me at my word

Thought maybe I was kidding

Thought there was more to me

But this is my living

Said it's perfect, how

I don't drink, don't swear

Don't smoke, don't have sex

But I also can't care

This heart inside of me

Hardened against the bad

Grew cold, build walls

Protects me from the sad

He thought I'd open up

Finally let someone in

Tried so hard to break me down

I'm not a game you can win

I'm sorry you thought different

Thought I'd grow to love you

I tried so hard to tell you

Love is something I can't do

I'm sorry I hurt you

I'm sorry if I broke your heart

I knew this would happen

Though I was honest from the start

I'm not going to change

You won't take down my walls

Because you love my quirks

But can't handle my downfalls

You can say that we're perfect

Until the breath is gone from your body

But if you're trying to change me

You can't really love me

So pack up and leave

Just like all the others

You aren't right for me

But you'll be perfect for another

Just let me go

Know you'll never have me

I'm keeping my walls up

Because this is how I'm meant to be

Oh my god. This is so good. I especially like the part about "you can say we're perfect...but if ur trying to change me, you can't really love me..." Just in those few lines is a message about love that some people just don't get. It's kind of like take me the way I am and love me, but if you're going to try and make me just right for you, then you're not the one I need. Great Poem!!!
