Cracked sidewalks and secrets

Cracked sidewalks and secrets.

I care and I've kept yours.

You say you care

more than me, 

but you step on the cracks,

Waterfalls in my eyes.

Your love is circumstantial,

its cruel to lead me on.

Slippery slopes and endless circles

always end in pain.

Slipping and falling,

I don't need your help to push me farther down.

But you seem to think I do.

Soft, beautiful lies,

caramel sweet.

I see through your mask,

but you lie so convincingly

you believe your own lies.

It's done, it's over.

Your facade fades,

your mind and love and emotion 

change.

Your face drops. 

And like the crack of a whip

you start and won't finish 

until I lie down,

my bleeding heart on the floor.

Step on it.

Step on the cracks.

Step on my heart.
Go on,

reveal all my secrets,

you have proved you truly don't care.
Your true self.

But I will always care,

and keep you in my heart

and keep your secrets.

You are too important not to,

though I know I'm not to you.

It's over, 

you plundered and took

everything from me.

Take until you are satisfied.

I don't have the heart to stop you,

Nor the will.

My sad shoes turn away from you,
my eyes on the cracked sidewalks,
and I finally walk away;

your secrets burdening my pockets.
