just a regular old breakup poem

i thought forever meant, y'know, forever
but i guess it just meant "until you feel Something towards another person"
because apparently the thought of me liking someone overpowered my love
and the chance that i'd leave you inspired you
to leave me first, ignoring how much it hurt

and if i move on too quick, people will say i'm insensitive
but i've learned to not let it get to my head
because so many people leave, you're just another face in the crowd
and i've trained myself so i don't feel bad anymore

but i'm just confused,
my words,
and that much is true
confused as to why my love wasn't enough for you

but maybe i'm painting a biased picture
after all, i am an asshole
as your friend so kindly put it
and i really wanna say something that i probably shouldn't

i wrote that love poem in what,
fifteen minutes?
but it's been two days since we broke up
and this is just now getting finished

and maybe...
well, nevermind
