I didn’t see you for what you were

I only saw what was in front of me

and I liked it.

You didn’t play me

you hummed and stringed me

along for the ride of my life.

Bygones.

But beggars can’t be choosers

especially then

when

you looked at me with those eyes.

Crooked smile

sincerity wasn’t your style

but I almost believed

that you tried.

You took me along

on your strange journey

we thought we found the future

but the future was the end.

You found someone who believed you more

since I was such a bore

with how I believed it was almost real.
