You Chose A Poet

You chose a poet. So you’ll be loved more than the moon loves the stars But you’ll also have to handle the darkness The silence when that cloud descends over her head The begging for you to stay when you hadn't said anything about leaving Because her heart has been broken Over and over If not by another boy Then by herself The high expectations The imposter syndrome Because she’s never good enough She tries and tries and tries But nobody notices The blood sweat and tears drip off her face and onto the page That paper is the only one who knows So if she opens up to you Don’t break her even more Tell her how much you love her And how you’ll never leave. Tell her you’re not obligated to stay, but you want to Tell her she's gorgeous and don’t let her brush it off Because she’s a poet. She lives off words But doesn’t believe what others say.
