I grew up…
Believing a beautiful lie…
That if I just did this…
If I was the person he wanted…
He would love me…
I longed to be worthy of love…
When in reality…
His arms would never keep me safe….
His eyes would never hold love for me…
His smile would never comfort me…
Searching forever….
For a love never returned….
And I always….
I always believed I was the reason why…
But I never knew….
There was never love in him to give….
