Please don't half ass love me
Don't even feed me sweet lies
If you're going to stay then stay through the good days as well as the bad days
Know that I am not a perfect person
I still have a lot to learn & grow from
But if you can handle everything that comes into dating me
You'll find a soul that's been broken so many times by the world
A smile that hides years of pain
Laughter that can light up a room when it's dark
A soul that will not let the world turn it into a bitter hateful human being after all the pain I've gone through
To the person who will love me next
If you're going to love me then love me with every last piece of fiber you have left in you
Because I will need you too
Love me even when on days I'm hard to love
I will need it most
To the person who will love me next
Wherever you are in the world right now
If you're listening to this poem right now
Be gentle with me for I am a hurting soul who might fuck up sometimes but just know my intentions are pure & that my heart can't be hardened by the hate & pain this world has caused onto me
To the person who loves me next
Make sure that you have the patience to be with me & the strength to pick up the slack when I'm slacking on some days
Be understanding because you don't know how many times someone has come into my life & misunderstood me on why I am the way I am because of my mental illnesses
To the person who will love me next
If you're going to come into my life then you better come into my life with the intentions of staying & not betraying or disappointing me
So many times have people came into my life with the intentions of never staying for good in the first place
I have a good heart & as long as you're patient, understanding, committed, & show compassion towards me I will do everything I can to show you the best way that I can love you
