I Take Back My Tears
June 2011 (10th Grade)

I take back my tears,
my kisses I blew,
and my words I said.
I take back my heart.
You know, the one you tore apart.
Never again will I fall instantaneously,
throw my love around,
or share pieces of my paper heart.
I return your lies,
the sparkle you put in my eyes,
and the sentences that remain unspoken.
I burned our bridge,
untied our bonds,
and let out our secrets.
I forgot about your promises,
plans,
and phony affection.
I lost my faith in you,
misplaced my respect for me,
and threw out the potential for us.
I take back my fears.
I take back my years.
So if we're done now,
I take back my tears.
