Deeper

I wish I would have listened to my bones.  Because they even shook at the thought of you.  

There is nothing about you that should make me continue to ache at the thought of you.  Nothing that should keep me loving you.  

It breaks my heart knowing I let you in.  I never expected you to make a home in my heart.  You were careless.  You've left splinters shredding at my heart and bricks holding it down into the pit of my stomach.  And you left that home abandoned.  You left my heart abandoned.   

But, you didn't just stop once you got to my heart.  I'm not sure how you made it so deep, but you planted yourself deeper than my bones.  You're planted at the center of my soul.  

You've shattered my bones, collapsed my mind, and filled my soul.  

I can manage these bones you've broken from the inside out.  
But please.  Please don't break my soul.
