tell me
who drew you in
and made you think
the bones and joints
within your knees
the veins and nerves
_mapping out your entire being_
were not already complete?
who made you see
through their broken glass
who made you think
it was okay not to ask
to ask you how
it made you feel
when they realized
they weren't going to be real
to you or to your swollen heart
you were just so beautiful to see
they just couldn't let you be
and when they fed you their falsities
they made you think you had to stay
as if half of you had gone away
when in truth—_you were noting short of gold_
and you should have been told
the one thing they couldn't be
was everything _they knew_
you needed them to be
and when this realization hits
they don't even have the heart to admit
you were _everything_ they wanted
but couldn't be
so they just had to taste it
they had to feel your breeze
and they take and they take
and then they _leave..._
but darling don't you fret
for they will never forget
the love they found in you
the love you still hold true
the love that's _grown too_
you needed them to help you through
so now you see that the best part of life
has always been about loving _you_
