You Were(n’t)

You Weren’t



You were my favorite poem

I would read you all the time

Every day and every night

Weeding out the hurt

Opening my heart

Knowing I might not ever understand all the words

But, that was okay, because the lines of you were the most beautiful I have ever heard

I never wanted more than to put you first

And, as long as you loved me, I knew things would work

Love like unconditional

Conquering and undismissible

Unkillable, unstoppable

The kind that needs no rest

Love more permanent than death

I knew you could love me like this

It was the kind of person you were

But things got bad, and then they got worse

Despite your shortcomings, I still love you for everything… you weren’t
