I tell them
I'm over him
because I don't want them
to realize
how pathetic I really am

how I still
notice every
perfect feature
on your beautiful face

and how
I love the way
you swipe your hair
to the side
when it falls
in your lovely eyes

and if they realized
I still cared
they would pity me
because I would never
be good enough
for you

{c.m.}

I wish
I could express
through words
just how much
pain I am in
when I see you
broken

and I wish
I were able
to show you
just how thankful I am
that you are still here

and I wish
I could show you
just how beautiful
you really are
here
in my eyes

{c.m.}
