Willingly, I gave every bit of myself to you. I held nothing back. You held me, and began tearing pieces away, discarding them on the floor. To my surprise, I watched as you smiled and crushed bits of me in your hands. Picking me apart. I became small and less of myself. Slowly you broke me, leaving nothing of value behind. The small piece of me that survives must be protected at all costs. Nobody can ever get close again. Nobody can be allowed in. When someone you love destroys you, who’s left to trust?
