I Deserve It

I put my heart in your hands and you broke it

I gave it to you again and you treasured it

In return- I broke yours.

And now your blood is on my hands

A stain that won't come off no matter how hard I scrub

And I deserve it.

You trusted me with your love

I ripped it into pieces and threw it back in your face

And now there are tiny paper cuts all over my hands

But I deserve the pain.

The pain isn't my own:

It's your last gift to me

But I take it willingly

And I just wish there were more

Because I deserve to be punished.

I took a heart of glass and crushed it under my heel

But I smile as the shards draw blood

Because whatever you are feeling is ten times worse,

And I deserve to share it.
