Lover Boy
Dear boy I once loved:
There was a glare in your eye that only appeared when i walked by,
And my dull grey eyes would turn joyous blue everytime,
Everytime our thoughts intertwined it made my heart skip a beat,
Did you not see what you had done to me?
Before I ever let you in you held me tightly and said, "I will never hurt you"
And I felt so safe,
So protected just knowing that you had all of me
Between the grasp of your fingertips.
But then I fell,
Hoping that you'd catch me,
And once I shattered,
You left me;
As if I meant nothing to you.
I realized you never loved me;
I tried to change for you,
I smiled more often;
My eyes were only blue for you
And you never seemed to notice.
And then I saw you again,
But you just didn't look the same
You looked so shallow and dim;
And I realized my friends were right all along.
I was too good for him.
