Your heart is a weapon –
I was an easy target
with those parts of me
that are still
just naïve enough
to want to believe people
instead of questioning
every word,
moment of silence,
stressed syllable,
and broken date.
I wanted to not be jaded,
so I wasn’t with you.
I could say that I learned
my lesson,
but it’s not like I won’t
ever try again.
And I think I had fun,
but I’d have to remember
everything else
about you
to answer that question.
So, no thanks.
