Balloon in a Card

I received a card in the mail
The envelope said:
After you read this card
Discard this like you did my heart
We met we feel in love
You cried I laughed only because I
Couldn’t fathom why you would cry so many tears
It’s like you needed to cry and
It just always ended up being my fault
We have ended not because
You are my addiction
Not because
You are no good for me
It’s the story of the Balloon
I will call up until the point
When I know I am free from your spell
When I know that I won’t need you anymore
But here you are for the first time
Reading what I’m thinking
No jokes and you getting mad
Assuming I am not taking you seriously
I’m allowing you to get a little closer to me
When I only wish u would let me be.
I gave you a balloon and you shot it down
Remember when your friend popped your cherry
I threw you a patch and you didn’t put it on right.

No matter the time or situation
You allowed yet another dude to penetrate you
So I can no longer compensate your love
I allowed you to use me
You took advantage of my love
And of what I thought I meant to you
I meant nothing to you
Each time I repaired that balloon
You always let the balloon slip from your grasp.
Leaving me to realize that you never deserved my balloon.
And I can’t take no more
When you are in love it doesn’t qualify
Me to hear tears every other night
Me to be accustomed to a timeframe
For a jealous rage that again results in tears.
I loved you with all my heart
I swear I did
But lets me serious
Love isn’t suppose to be like this
It Isn’t suppose to hurt and I should not feel like this
I can’t love you anymore

If we continue it will hurt
Way more than it does now
Give me one good reason
Why I should give you a whole new balloon
You have shot me in the heart allowed me to have a hatred that I wish
I didn’t have to admit

But I’m being real
And again I say discard this card
Like you discarded my heart
As I was reading a red balloon one that I have never seen before
No patch just two holes
Different sizes and as I’m look closer
I watched the balloon fall to the ground
I saw the floor shatter right before my eyes
The effect of love and what will
Never be was shown
And I am aware of this and that
It’ my fault I know that I shot this balloon DOWN
