Half Loved

Things had
not been the same
in a long time

but I was so scared
to lose him
thatI held on

I overlooked things
I shouldn't have

pretending things were okay

I knew what was coming
but I wasn't ready

not yet
because how could I let go of him?

It led me to accepting things
I didn't deserve

until I realized
what I was trying
so hard to ignore

my heart was breaking anyway
because I was being
half loved

I knew what it felt like
to have his full heart
this wasn't it

this love was empty and ugly
full of half promises

until I finally got the courage
to ask the questions
I was petrified of
getting the answers to

leading me to accept that
I would rather not have him at all

then for him to love me
with half of his heart

because
that's even more heartbreaking
than not having him at all
