It occurred to me
That I've loved you
For all
The wrong reasons.


I shouldn't have loved you
For your messy hair or hazel eyes.
Nor for the goofy smile
That gets bigger
Every time you're about to laugh.


I shouldn't love you
For the way
You pushed me to the side,
Just to catch me
And play Superman.


I should have loved you
For the great liar that you are.
Because every time you look at her,
I see me in your eyes.


It's funny how;
You were trying
To convince yourself that
I shouldn't matter.


But, instead of moving forward,
You went more backwards.
You confused yourself by who
You were pretending to be.


And now, you're full of deceit,
And you regret all the lies
You fed me.
