Despite you loving me, despite you caring for me,
Some will wait for you, though it's sad to see.
**"I feel I'm not worthy of you,"**
I confess,
**"Are you gaslighting yourself?"**
I gently press.
"I am treating you right, can't you see?
For you to keep loving me, I set you free."
Until one has left, an act of flight,
**"Don't worry, those are lies,"**
I say, holding me tight.
***"For others will be a better fit,
Despite me being a misfit."***
***"For I am just a nuisance that needs to get rid,
Despite me being a piece of sht."**
**"Do you love me still?"**
I ask, eyes downcast,
"For I overthink each sequence, memories vast."
*"Not gonna lie, I feel foolish,"*
I whisper in the still,
"For writing these feelings, I use this quill."
***"I love you,"***
you say, firm and clear,
"Every word you write, every fear.
In each sentence, your heart I see,
You're not a burden, you're everything to me."
