Someone said
“They died knowing how much you loved them”
But that was never in question
They knew I loved them
People don’t fly across three states
For people they don’t love
Even when they aren’t asked to
People don’t give up their lives
to take care of people they don’t love
My love for you was never the issue
The longer I watched the life drain from you
The more my heart knew
This love was always shallow
A one way street
A burden for you to carry
You wore my love around your neck
Not as jewelery
But as a shackle
And I will have to live the rest of my days
Knowing the person who should have known me best
Never really cared to know me at all
