deceit

I was seated in an unknown place Every corner I was greeted with was something new The last 3 years of my life may as well have been erased nobody wanted to talk to me, I came so late like an aftertaste You weren't a nobody, and to you I was somebody Thats all it took for me to be more than gaudy You were the best thing I had experienced to date You didn't mind that I wasn't okay You walked me to my counsellor I wish I could say more than that You hated your thighs, but you loved your eyes I could look you up and down and never find something to despise Your self-image was shattered, what you thought you deserved splattered Now that I’m gone and you have moved on, is that still the case? You had the most beautiful heart but weren't ready to embrace I love you; I mean that with my ribs exposed Reach inside, strip away my bones Anything that made you happy was worth it to me I’m just a steppingstone, helping you be the best you can be I just hoped you would tread lightly, you shattered me and watched me crumble Hurt people hurt people It’s not your fault I don’t hate you I wish to become something you exalt
