You took my heart just because you could
Such a stupid, petty theft

I can't say that I wish you never took it
I just wish you never would have left

I wish you knew me
But you never tried
You viewed me through your own
Judgmental, naive eyes

You say you know me
Better than any of the rest
After all, a mother should know
Her own daughter the best

But you don't know that I write poetry
Or that I smoke and gaze at the moon
Or how I met my best friend
Or how I had my first heartbreak last June

You don't know my favorite animal
Or what I want to be
Or why I don't believe in god
You've never once tried to see

But you claim you know me
That you've always tried
That you view me through your own
Loving, caring, Mother eyes

Even though I love you more than
Anything
And no one makes me
Happier
And the thought of not being with you makes me
Sick
And want to
Scream
And cry
And swear
I know I have to let you
Go
Because you're too wonderful
To ever leave me and
I know i'll  never make you as
Happy
As you deserve to be,

But thank you for trying to
Love me and
Don't feel bad for
Not being able to,
I don't think
Anyone
Can

I finally learned to love again
Because that's what I had to do

I may love many people throughout my life
But none as much as I loved you
