How

A Poem by Mariah Smith
"

I wrote this quickly, and it is not done.

"

How can you say you love her?

She is always there for you

Fighting for you

When you stop

She’s there

How can you push her away?

She asked for one thing

You chose another girl

Making her an option

Not a priority

She’s lost

How can you call her yours?

You lost her

You make her cry

Fighting for someone

Who isn’t fighting for her

She’s not yours

How can you think you’re great?

You cause many fights

You make her feel worthless

She fights for you

Day in and day out

Fight for her

How can you tell her you love her?

You cannot

You have lost her

She ended the battles with okay

She was done

Long before she left

She was walking away

You weren’t fighting

She knew she had to go

It was hard

She fought with herself, she didn’t want to leave

She needed to walk away

She was losing herself, trying to fix;

What was broken

Pulling her back, was the love she craved

The man she loved with everything she had

He didn’t love her

He knew, she was just a convenience

He knew, she would leave

He stole the fight she had

He wanted it for himself

She wasn’t his

Someone who was there when he needed

Someone who loved with her whole body, not just her heart

Someone who needed something steady, a rock

That was her, he stole that from her

Now she’s a girl who is lost

Strayed on the pathway in this world

No idea what is to happen next

But knows she needs to run away

From him

From her family

From the world

She has lost herself, in a world of opportunities

She is done fighting for someone who isn’t worth fighting for

He lost that right

That right is given to someone

Who listens

Who understands

Who tries

Who fights

Not someone who pushes them away

Not someone who blames them for everything

Not someone who doesn’t know the concept of love
