This Boy

A boy told me once that he doesn't love himself and for a second I had no idea why.

He is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, then it came to me," Beautiful people don't love themselves."

If you really do think about it, the most beautiful people out there are the most insecure.

This boy hates himself for his family's mistakes, not his.

If he shows his feelings towards his family, they get mad with him. 

However, he has this one girl who he calls his sister.

He makes her seem like she is the solution to all of his problems and I am jealous of her.

I am jealous because I too had someone like that,

one to tell all of my hardships to,

someone to listen to my darkest fears and was there for me in my darkest hours and I fell in love with him.

I don't want to take this boy away from his savior,

I don't want to ruin her like my someone's girl ruined me.

This boy is stereo typed to be called a "bad boy" but I know he is a good person.

This boy has ocean blue eyes, the kind you love to stare into.

This boy has hair the color of the night sky, 

and his smile... Oh, his gorgeous, beautiful smile!

This boy, when he loves, he loves hard,

but how can this boy love someone so hard when he doesn't love himself?

How can I get over this boy?

Author's Note

The poem has no rhyme to it and is sort of a mess and all over, but I think it kind of matches the description of the boy, chaotic. Enjoy!
