He picked her heart piece by piece masking her curiosity with sweet whisperings, painting a future for him and for her.
Now she has found countless uses for a brick.
Because she is convinced that Shawn Mendes wrote that song for her.
Because no one has ever left her this sore.
She had reached into her body searching for a heart that was blocked.
She fought each stubborn rib as they formed a cage warning that she might not survive this one, but she dodged them and gripped her heart by the core.
She traded hers for his and they both kept blood running to the others to keep them alive.

Why did you cut off your blood supply to me?
Why.
Letting me bleed out is understandable, but why did you stick around to watch?
I have now found countless uses for a brick.
