Righteous Me

I should be proud
of righteous me.
I went out on a limb for his company.

Though I was rejected
with a quickly spurred, "Oh".
A turn of the shoulder.
A heart breaking "No".

I stepped out of my box,
let my feelings show.
Allowed leniency
where my secrets don't flow.

But where my heart should swell
with the courage I've displayed
lies a door leading to empty
where I opened, and was played.

It's describing that she should be proud that she tried but instead there's just this empty space where she opened up to this person but he took what she gave him and left, leaving her empty.
