PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I fell for you.
You fell away.
Even if I'm what you want,
I'm just not what you need.

In fact,
I'm quite literally the opposite.
You need someone with ambition,
Someone with motivation,

Someone with a job and a car and a plan.
You need someone with self-appreciation.
You need someone to take care of you.
You need someone sober.

I have absolutely none of these things you need.
But I can form a plan.
I can get motivated.

I can get a job and a car and a house to bring you home to.
I can work on learning to love myself.
I know I'm capable,

Because thanks to you I know what love is.
I have no money,
Few possessions,
Few friends,
But an abundance of love.

Returned or not, it's all I have to give to you.
But just watch me kick the booze,
The pills,
The acid,
Out the fucking door.

Watch me get employed and learn to save.
Watch me get some self-esteem and take control of my life.
And when all is said and done,
And I have all of these "things" to give you,
And it turns out that you don't want them,
As I can guarantee,
Just know you bettered me.
And I will be alone with my success
And all these "things" you don't want.

And just like now,
All I will be able to give you is love.

And I hope you take it then,
Even if as only a friend.

However you take it,
Just remember,
That love I give is the love we made.

You forever changed me.
