Love Poems || FINISHED

I s w e a r I d i d n ' t k n o w

Somebody told me that you didn't like this and that

so I changed it about myself 

until I didn't know whose face was really in the mirror.

Turns out the fact that I changed so much 

was the thing you didn't like

so I tried to change back 

but I didn't fit back in those clothes.

The fact that I cared so much about what you thought

should have said something about how I felt about you,

but when I asked, you simply said, 

"I swear I didn't notice".

All that work and just for nothing,

got me feeling so depressing,

until I noticed that the thing you liked about me

still existed behind the tears.

So I pulled it out of the dusty closet,

polished it up and made it shine,

and soon again I felt like me, 

ready to go and be happy.

I hoped you'd notice what you did before,

the thing you liked best had come out again,

but things went by like normal, 

not even a glance my way.

When I asked you what you thought,

you shrugged and didn't say much except,

"Nothing out of the ordinary to me",

which broke my heart.

Then finally, it hit me,

the changes made you leave me,

what you once saw beautiful 

you saw no more. 

In that moment I could have sworn, 

that you whispered, 

"so much pain shes gone through, 

just for me, I feel bad now because 

I swear I didn't know."
