You saw me. Until one day, You didn’t. At first you made me feel seen and thought of, But your thoughtfulness soon turned to forgetfulness And your forgetfulness gave way to unfaithfulness and echoed my unworthiness. I never felt like I was good enough for you Your words affirming, spoke differently But your actions - Your actions validated my fears. My fear that I was unworthy of your love. My insecurity screamed I wasn’t enough, Whatever enough was and reshapes to be. In all its categories I could be measured in, enough wouldn’t ever describe me, Least of all for you. You made me question, You made me doubt, Was I really someone you could so easily forget about. You saw me. until one day, You didn’t. You didn’t see the tears, My withdrawal from living the reality of my fears. You didn’t see the pain you caused, Because you no longer saw me Me- Standing before you, picking up the pieces that you shattered, Through the disappointments, The devastation, The betrayal, The brokenness, Left to grieve the loss of what was and what could have been. The reality that our love story, will never happen again. Even if your eyes were unveiled from the fog you’ve been in, And finally saw me You’d never get the chance to really see. to know me, in full transparency. You’ll look back and regret the things you chased, When you wake up and realize What you were searching for Was right in front of your face. I’d be the girl you had, but one day, Let slip away.

Fog of pride
You saw me. Until one day, You didn’t. At first you made me feel seen and thought of, But your thoughtfulness soon turned to forgetfulness And your forgetfulness gave way to unfaithfulness and echoed my unworthiness. I never felt like I was good enough for you Your words affirming, spoke differently But your actions - Your actions validated my fears. My fear that I was unworthy of your love. My insecurity screamed I wasn’t enough, Whatever enough was and reshapes to be. In all its categories I could be measured in, enough wouldn’t ever describe me, Least of all for you. You made me question, You made me doubt, Was I really someone you could so easily forget about. You saw me. until one day, You didn’t. You didn’t see the tears, My withdrawal from living the reality of my fears. You didn’t see the pain you caused, Because you no longer saw me Me- Standing before you, picking up the pieces that you shattered, Through the disappointments, The devastation, The betrayal, The brokenness, Left to grieve the loss of what was and what could have been. The reality that our love story, will never happen again. Even if your eyes were unveiled from the fog you’ve been in, And finally saw me You’d never get the chance to really see. to know me, in full transparency. You’ll look back and regret the things you chased, When you wake up and realize What you were searching for Was right in front of your face. I’d be the girl you had, but one day, Let slip away.
