You will like what you see

A poem directed to a guy who rejects you. Written about my first rejection.

I liked you for you

 

You liked me for me

But not the way I wanted it to be.

 

 They are so pretty

 

They are so beautiful

 

But when they break your heart

Who do you come running to?

 

 They don't pick up the pieces

 

Or wipe away the tears

 

They don’t wish away your sorrows

 

They don't wish away your fears

 They aren't your shoulder to cry on

They aren't your helping hand

I try to make it all go away

 

I try to help you stand

 But you will go back

 

Thinking that it's different

But they are all the same

 

No matter how much I try to stop it

 

 Eventually your heart will be hurt

 

Black and rotted with despair

 

Yearning for someone to love

But no one will be there

 

 That day you will see me for me

 

Maybe then you will like what you see...

Author's Note

Wrote this of my first rejection. Seems petty now
