A lack of affection and the seasons,

The way they made my feelings change

Shed me of everything

I was gloomy, much like the cold January mornings

The mornings you can barely get yourself out of bed

The mornings you avoid the cold wet dew arranged particularly amongst the leaves

If you were lucky enough to avoid snowfall

The mornings you are afraid to step outside

The world was dark and empty, and I was drawn to him for he was light

 

Because he asked me and because I was lonely

I fell into his arms after a simple question

Not because I liked him but because I liked the way he worshipped me

Because he loved me he would text me nonstop

Always making sure I was safe, knowing where I would be and when

Like a knight in shining armor guarding me from danger

He made sure no guys could touch me or get ahold of me

Like a treasure, I was pampered and kept locked away

Because he loved me

 

Because I loved him, I trusted him even when I did not

Such as when he would disappear for hours at a time

But because I loved him I “trusted” him

Trusted him when others found him as irresistible as I did

Trusted him when he would find them irresistible as well

He was as inviting as the smell of baked goods

As intoxicating as them as well as his lips took on the taste of sugar and honey

But he would soon taste bitter

As bitter as black coffee, no cream or sugar

All the rumors of him and others

Ringing in my ears and haunting his deceitful lips

He claimed I was jealous, he couldn’t help being kind

He told me not to fret

I was irreplaceable, his treasure untold

He would never do that

Because he loved me

 

He had many hobbies

And because I loved myself I left him

He was a treasure collector, collecting as many hearts as he could

Pampering and Isolating

Claiming they were precious

Then finding one more exciting

Leaving that previous one to nothing

 

Because I loved myself little to none

I still loved me more than he loved anyone

Because I loved me I told him it was not the same as it had started out

Because I loved me I tore him apart
