Bottled Tears
I held the fragments of me that you had broken and begged you to put them back together.
_“first bottled your tears for me” _you demanded.
_“anything for you” _I replied
and began bottling tears shed over you
_“silly little one. you have given me the most vulnerable part of you. you broke me first so now I will break you more”_
I watched as you drank my tears and shattered the little bottle that held them.
I watched not as me
but as a shell of who I was.
Though you have long since severed the string of communication I keep filling bottles with my tears.
Not one tear falls that isn’t for you.
I keep the bottles locked away in hope that one day it will be enough and you will put me together again.
_Isn’t it funny how you were the one to break me _
_yet still It’s only you who I will let fix me._
