Make Sure It’s Really Love (Poem #8)

You have always been consumed
by the thought
of having someone to hold
someone to label your own
and to give yourself to
but darling, I’ve noticed
how you never bothered to listen
how you’ve always been too caught up
on your own problems
to realize that i am capable too
of being broken

You were too busy telling the world
showing off to your past
how you finally found love
that you didn’t notice it slipping away
you told them how it suddenly existed
but forgot to mention
how it never intended to stay.

Just reading and writing my way out of this messy adult life! I have transitioned from having piles of notebooks stacked underneath my bed from writing on the internet and allowing people worldwide to read.
