To you

This was never meant to be a love poem.

This was never meant to be your poem..

But I can't help it

When your facebook page is open to curious eyes

A profile picture to cover the lies..

I lay awake

At night.

I see the tease as she puts a heart for every old picture where my smile seemed so real next to yours

And you can see the naive in my eyes

As I try

To turn the page but the wind always seems to flip it back..

I'm still wandering

How you could leave so quick and I could fall so quick and you could love her, so quick.

I can't seem to fathom how real it seemed when you told me the space between your fingers were meant for me

And I still see the night you met her...... on our first date.

I can't help it

But I hope you're happy this time

Because you enjoy breaking hearts like mine

And you told me it was pointless to rhyme

Because the words I speak were never "good enough"

And "I could never love you enough". Well tough.

But I can't help it

I'll tell you I'm fine as all the stars in the sky steal your shine

You'll fade away. I hope your heart skips a beat like mine

When you hear her name...but maybe not for the same reason

Because the bed on your side is still made up

The plates lay empty on your spot of the kitchen table

I hope she knows your stories are more like fables

And you were never meant to be a forever

But I was never meant to be a cover

Because you always loved her.

You will be the only one that knows I lied

When I whispered to you

At night

As I lay awake

And this poem was never meant to be a love poem

But it's your poem

Because I can't help it

When I lay awake

At night

To think of you
