I Break People

The last time
I made apathy feel
I broke it.
Shattered.
To be picked up
By someone else
I destroyed.
So I'm sorry
But I can't do this.
I can't handle this.

What am I saying?
I want this!
I want this,
I can taste it.
But the last time I had it,
I broke it.
Shattered,
Into millions of pieces.

I don't want to break you.
You can't
Be part of the list
Of lives I've ruined.
I'm sorry.
The apathy says
It doesn't need me.
You don't need me.
Why do I try?

I won't break
Anyone
Again.
