Screw Your Pity

Folder: 
Family and Friends

The moment is calm

but I am far from that.

I must tell you,

so that you will know

in case my actions haven't

told you...

I love you.



You give me that look.

I hate that look.

And for a moment

I would take my words back.

So much pity is there

in your eyes.

Screw your pity.

I don't need it.

This is my choice

I find it easier to tell you

than to go on pretending.



You don't love me.

You needn't repeat that.

Don't act

like I have asked something of you.

I just thought I would

tell you

So that you would know.



That once

some girl loved you

Who you gave nothing to

on purpose.

She loved you for the man

you are,

the man you shall become.

She loved you

remember that.

And all you could do was

push her away,

pity her,

and make her feel stupid.

As if merely loving you

retarded her.

I wrote this about telling one of my friends that I love him and how he looked at me afterwards.
