Jet black hair with dark brown eyes
I always wanted to believe you but when the truth came out I was never surprised
Still I was the one that always chose to ignore all your lies
Yet I'm glad you weren't there to hear my heartbreaking cries
It took me a while to even write a poem about you
It took me a while because I refused to realize that you never actually loved me too
But now that time has passed I look back on all that has happened
Though I do it while crying yet forcibly laughing
Because the signs were there right in-front of my face
And like a fool I put them aside and still chose your attention to chase
I truly loved you once, the you that you were at the very beginning
Maybe that's why I stayed it didn't matter to me that I felt numb within
I stayed again and again like an idiot hoping and praying that version of you would come back to the light
But now if somebody would tell me that you were near I would just say "Alright."
Then I would carry on, on what I was doing
It took me a while to realize how strong I was within
It took me a while but in the end letting you go was easy as breathing.
