My ex

I will admit I loved him

All his flaws disappeared

The weird way he grinned

His work-worn hands

The smell of sawdust and woods

In every particle of skin 

He was the only thing I could think of

My heart mind whole being

And yet now

All I see are his flaws

All the ways he hurt me

Not with his fists

But words gossiped 

Spread like wildfire

I broke his heart

Yes that's true

But he broke more than just a heart 

So in love,

 It takes over a girl's whole world
