You'll Come Back to Yourself

by Michaela Angemeer

i have been let down by men so many times there is no disappointment left for you

don’t plant seeds of commitment in my mind if you never intend to water them

i tried so hard to be whole for you but it turns out you like me better when i’m in pieces

i knew everything about who i wanted you to be and nothing about who you really were

if you fall in love with someone’s potential you will break your own heart
