My Love
Darling, you tell me I’m perfect,
But I’d say I’m worthless,
Make a mess, that you clean up
I need your hands, this might be tough
I questioned heaven to hell
Catching my breath to take a step back
Into the past
When he called me his something
But something can also mean nothing,
I thought I was in heaven, but I’ve always
Then his hell
He gave me a weapon, it didn’t go well.
He shot me out and waved goodbye
As he grabbed my waist and told me lies,
Lying, listening, believing
all to make me feel worthless
Years of dreams became months of
Nightmares
That never seems to go away.
Confused why nothing was changing
Why my grades were flaking.
Why I didn’t say anything.
Yet you still saying I’m perfect,
I’m no longer worthless
I’ve got a purpose.
You turned nightmares into dreams
And make me feel complete,
You are the future
He was the past.
I’ll love you forever
And that’s a fact.

I started to write this poem when I was at my lowest and finished it when I starting seeing the good in things again. In my past, I was in a very unhealthy relationship that killed all my self-esteem and made me feel like I was never going to succeed. He was my first love and erased my dreams of having a fairytale relationship. he broke my heart into a million pieces, then moved on within a day. I decided I would no longer cry over what happened to me and instead, fix what he broke. A month or two later I started dating my current boyfriend, who helped me see the positive to things, helped cure my self-esteem, pushed me to follow my dreams, and helped me grow as an independent woman. I can finally say I found my prince charming.
