Love Backwards

Love backwards he doesn’t do the things you do did he doesn’t act the way you act didn’t he doesn’t give you what you need needed you didn’t notice you gave everything to keep him whatever you believed there was to keep he doesn’t love you he never did here it comes he isn’t thinking about you now his ties are cut were they ever there? your ties are made from unbreakable thread you noticed you ignored it he waited you couldn’t ignore it he agreed he watched you leave, desperate for you to go you left caring more for him than yourself that pain in the pit of your stomach never seems to fade But if you could love wrong so much , how much you could love right…right?
