the way you stand in the mirror
with eyes full of tears
because in the wrong lighting
you so easily declare yourself frightening
claiming no one, not even yourself could love you
but it's a scary thing when they say they feel it too
not knowing how much you actually care for them they so
easily say the same thing you do
breaking your heart slowly
and unknowingly
you tell her I hate you
and without hesitation, she repeats, I hate you too
If you don't love yourself first there is no way you could possibly truly love someone else. Don't ever let someone believe they hate themselves especially if you love them. Relationships can't be one-sided, so make sure you let the people you love know you love them before it's too late. Especially yourself. Always love yourself.
