I know people aren’t toys.
They’re real and valid.
They matter to someone.
But for myself;
anyone can say they love me
Say that  I am valid 100x over
i I would never believe them.

I have to make myself believe in being valid
That I am enough.
Because if i don’t these negative thoughts
feelings towards others will never go away.

How does one love others
Love nature
Mourn for those no longer here
Cry for those are  hurt
Feel pain
Emotion
On such a level
With a somber expression and welcoming arms
I embrace you
Lay your head on my shoulders
Transfer your pain
Your misfortune
Your hurt onto me.
For I will take it on
Leaving you with a blank face
& piece of mind.
I welcome pain
I welcome hurt
Place your burden onto me
For I will heal your pain
End your suffering.
For I harbor no true feelings
Mine are not my own they are foreign
Placed onto me by those near and far
Let me be your solace for i deserve no such thing
I cannot love myself but I can love you
Taking on what you cannot
It’s okay to let go.
For I am hear to save you
Yet I can’t even save myself.

We weren’t together long
In that time you shown me
Compassion
Trust
Acceptance
You’ve given me more
In a short period of time
Then I would’ve learned in a
Lifetime.
You will always be my first love.

Like a moth to a Flame
Your words entice me
Thoughts excite me
I fall victim to things you say
Like a snake with a quick tongue
Smooth and soft
Like honey
Im burned.

Before i even realize
Whats happening
There i lay
Empty
A shell of myself
Broken
You took what was mine
With no intention of fixing
Like a robber in the night
You invaded my home
And took was most important
Other that heart
My most prized possession.
