How He left me
It wasn’t until long after He left that I saw how it really was
He walked out the door for one final time cause He was done
I waited for another knock and Him to be on the other side of the door
While I internally screamed for Him to come back and cried
But this wasn’t when my love for Him died
My dad held me after He was gone, much to my surprise
looked me deep into my eyes
Daddy said, “you’re better off without Him”
Yet it felt more painful than if someone had cut off my limb
Any other love than His, did I not deserve?
Cause He seemed to be the only one that loved all of me, even my curves
or so I thought before he decided I wasn't good enough
and saw that I wasn't so tough
He saw that yes, I cry too when told
I wasn't worthy of His bold love
I loved Him so I did not hold Him back from living His life
While He held me back giving me the reason that He “loved me too”
Later I realized most of the stuff muttered from Him was a lie
I think back to Him standing there looking all sly
I almost believed Him when He said I was lucky to have Him
Those words made my brain all mucky for a while
Later I realized that spending stacks on smoke filled pacts
Would be better for me than lending an hour of my time to Him
I now know that it’s not healthy
to have to be that stealthy when mentioning who I talk with to Him
He was my dream, or so it seemed
But He quickly became a nightmare
It’s only in hindsight that I see all of this
The feelings of love and the kiss
I received clouded my mind of right and wrong
with effects on my brain that were long lasting
After it all I realized that trust is a two way street
and that sometimes I need to take a day to meet with my friends
Now I think I am above all the well played games on me
Looking back, I think I learned a lot about love when I fell out of it.
