You were different
You didn’t break me
Like everyone else did
I cried over you
But not for the usual reasons
It’s funny how that works
You didn’t break my heart
Or leave it beat to a pulp
As a matter of fact
My heart is intact
Because you aimed for my brain
You took your gentle hands
And delved deep into my head
Armed with nothing but your words
You took me apart
Piece by piece
And then
You put me back together
But something was different
You rewired me
Because now
I am numb
There is no more sadness
Or remorse
Or pain
Or guilt
All that remains
Is nothingness
You hollowed me out
And I didn’t even notice
