The King of Hearts Is a Heartbreaker

Why an empath is a great source of supply for a certain personality type

Bonded to him

Whenever I meet the king of hearts, there are rarely words exchanged unless he wants to talk.

Then it is all him.

But most times he would grab just grab my hand and lead me to a secluded corner amongst the abandoned castle ruins, or even an empty fitting room in a crowded mall would do for what he had in mind.

And I played along…because I was bonded to him.

I would impatiently tug down the zipper on his jacket in my haste to get my fingers under his shirt — to run my hands over his bare skin.

To feel his heart throb against the palm of my hand.

Did it ever beat for me, I wonder?

The way his strong hands imprisoned my hands to the wall as his mouth devoured mine, I know deep in my heart that this isn’t love.

So, where is this love, that he keeps declaiming loudly about?

As my fingers trace a line over the feverishly hot skin of his belly, I see his eyes close in anticipation.

Small mercy for I wouldn’t want him to see the tears seeping down my eyes at the hypocrisy of it all.

The User

Why do some of us choose to date men who are no good for us? This might be one of those profound questions we, the dumpees, are doomed to ruminate on.

And yet we go into such a situation with eyes wide open right up until we realize the other person was capitalizing on the fact that we wouldn’t deny them what they want.

Because we love truly, deeply, and foolishly.

On the other hand, we are just a toy for their entertainment. And the sad thing is since they know we are in love with them, they string us along for the simple reason that we provide a heady source of supply.

Even then, once they get bored, we are discarded like yesterday’s news.

The Used

The truth is that the giver in you was drawn to them because you glimpsed the hurt they harbor behind the high walls they’ve built around themselves.

You go to great lengths to prove your love for them, that you are not like the others who broke their heart in the past but that does not inspire them to see you for what you are.

In a way, they are actually dishing out the hurt delved out to them at an earlier time by playing manipulative little games with you. For if they truly loved you, it would be a give and take — not just a ‘you give, give, give and he takes, takes, takes and grows fat like an engorged leech’ type situation.
