i wanted so badly
for you to be
my everything
so that’s what i made you
yet the whole time
i knew
you never intended to do the same
for me
it’s really a beautiful thing
to give yourself up to someone
to say to yourself
i love this person so much
that i'll do whatever it takes
to bring them happiness
even if that means getting
burned in the process
when you feel that way about someone
no matter what they do
or how they treat you
you don’t want to leave them
you don’t want to let go
you could move a mountain for them
and them a speck of dust for you
yet you’d still feel
like you weren’t doing enough
but you love them
so you keep trudging forward
making sacrifices
constantly
while hanging on to the rare moments
when they don’t make you feel
so small
so unimportant
i think that’s why i stayed
