you liked me before i was pretty.
everything was perfect,
except for you.
it rained on the walk home.
2.
a mouthful of forever’s
were tucked behind your tongue
in exchange for a mouthful of lies
bursting out of mine.
3.
you were 7 different people.
i know one of them gave a **** about me
at one point.
4.
you had a nice smile
and i was lonely
but just because somebody desires you,
doesn't mean they value you.
and when i walked out of your house,
I realized that you had lied.
5.
we shared winter kisses on the mouths of bottles
making memories we would not remember
you had dark eyes that i saw light behind.
but you hated yourself
more than you could have ever loved me
and so i let you go.
6.
it was love at first sight between ***** iced teas and cigarette smoke.
we were poetry weaved of red thread
and acid sunrises.
my father told me to love somebody who had a passion in their life
- your passion was me,
and so i let you go.
7.
i kissed you even though I probably shouldn’t have
in the kitchen of an unfamiliar house
but you were the best mistake I could have ever made
my blue valentine;
you stayed when I thought you would leave
and so my heart is yours
my mistakes lead me to you.
