I believed
the moments
were about me,
today I see they
were always
about you
Did you know?
You loved me
to satisfy
your need to
be somebody
who loved,
when it was
convenient
to love?
I believed
in my innocence,
you loved me
even when I knew
I was unsure,
I was insecure
I relied on you
to show me through
the darkest of darks
and the lightest of lights
no matter what,
Because, I thought you
knew better.
I didn’t know
that I didn’t know,
that you didn’t know,
how to love unconditionally.
