I Thought You’d Be Different

August 14th, 2023

Another piece of myself
I’ve freely given away
Who I once believed to be a friend
Has left me in disarray
Moments that came and went
Made me think this could be more
But now I have not heard from you
Since I left your front door
A Friday night I asked you to drinks
But we ended up at your place
I was feeling broken
Then we met face-to-face
You’re the one who kissed me
Then said that we were just friends
And when I asked you about it
You said it won’t happen again
Then five days later
It happened again
Now I haven’t heard from you since
What happened to just friends?
Eight months I’ve known you
But I never acted on my feelings
You crossed the line
And I’m the one reeling

Tucked Away

March 30th, 2023

You never got the poem you deserved
After all the pain that you endured
You only got the worst of me
My confusion and uncertainty
You were the best guy that I’ve dated
But my past left me jaded
I was feeling like an imposter
So I didn’t let my feelings foster
I was happy in those moments with you
Even if there were so few
To give up somebody who was so kind
Who never tried to play with my mind
The only one to put me first
And yet I treated you the worst
So I’m sorry for the way things came to an end
I understand why you don’t want to be my friend

You Said You Missed Me First

January 24th, 2023

The euphoria I feel with you
It’s like I am on a high
But then I hit my comedown
And it makes me wonder why
The first time you told me you missed me
I thought you were full of sh*t
But when you whispered it to me
I thought you might have meant it
The signals you give to me
I don’t know when to go
The red light is still on
But do I proceed because you said so
I don’t know what you want from me
Your actions don’t match what you said
That I was getting too comfortable with you
When I think that was you instead
