You
are
so
mean

Incredibly
mean

You
take
from
me
all
given
things

and take them
for granted

How do I

  know     this for sure?

When I've kept

manipulative

    lovers who loved more to reprogram me

How do I

      separate the abuse from the present?

I
am
so
sad

Romance means a process
and I've watched for years by your side
with my eyes aglow for my god
as you cut your tether to me with
the courage to do nothing else but
tell me otherwise, like I haven't spent
thousands of nights wishing and wanting
for the light of my life
when she was right there
right there

hell is a place where
you constantly love those that
do not love you back.

Never love a poet so much,
for she will build her world around you.
She’ll contrast you to the sun and stars;
she will love you so.

She will give you lovely notes
to brighten up your day.
You’ll find it a little weird
but you look forward to it, anyway.

Never love a poet so much,
for she will invest a lot in you.
She will become the person you’ll only ever need
without taking a lot from you.

She will take you to places,
and make you experience things
within a room's four corners
and her words as your wings.

Never love a poet so much,
for even after all those things
she will take away her love,
and leave you without a trace
with her heartache as her fuel
for another masterpiece.
