Emotional Investment
I gave my heart to fleeting things,
Towords that were light on broken wings,
Hoping they'd lift me, make me whole,
But they only tore at my soul.
I invested in promises, empty and sweet,
Chasing the warmth of a love that could cheat,
Believing the spark, when it barely glowed,
Ignoring the warnings my instincts showed.
I poured my trust into hands unsure,
Into hearts...
