THROUGH
You could see through me.
So I thought.
You could see right through the blemishes.
You could see through the rough edges,
Through the bad days, through the braggadocio.
You could see through the failures.
So I thought.
Your glare made me whole again.
Your warmth was all I sought…
You could see right through the bullshit
You quickly became my confidant and inspiration.
So I thought .
Took less than a minute of meeting to light the spark,
Feelings were raging and waxing stronger by the day,
Dreams about your smile were dreamt…
This bland life became so tasty.
Your smile, what would I not give to see it smeared across your face.
Just as feelings flared up with a quickness
They died with the same swiftness.
There were no miracles after three nights.
All hope is now lost.
I thought you saw through me,
I thought you did not mind the roughness at the edges.
I think I was just a mirror you used to admire your undeniable beauty.
You just saw a reflection when you stared.
You were simply going through a fad.
Why does this ephemeral feeling hurt so ?
