Was love enough?

I chose to lose you,

to lose the love you gave me.

I had to leave you.

 

I didn’t mean to

let our relationship die.

I couldn’t take it.

 

Our love looked perfect,

Just whispering sweet nothings

staying up all night.

 

I miss what we had,

but I felt you judging me.

Yet, you still loved me.

    Will I stay on this line forever?

    When will I get off?

    My face and body configured

    to make me look appetizing.
