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?

Amy, I had to read this several times to capture the gist of its deeper meanings. Very interesting take on the contest theme, well done. Thanks for entering the contest
