i loved you first
when you dwelled into the maze
and your mind was crossing over
with your memories in a haze.

i loved you first
when you were sick of all the fights
and you had to call my phone
so I could hold you until midnight.

i loved you first
when your hands were all bruised
from punching all the walls;
letting your demons break loose.

i loved you first
until you left me to go further—
telling me you had to go
and see your other lover.
