A Letter to my X

You could’ve had it all…

My love was more than enough

For both of us to live off of

And your minimal contribution

Was more than enough for me

You could’ve had it all…

I opened up my chest and showed you

The darkest parts of me

While you boarded yours up

So that I couldn’t even see your scars

You could’ve had it all…

Because when it came to you

I was faster than lightening

I was the eye of the storm

But you never acknowledged the calm

You could’ve had it all…

I showed you off

Like you were made of sapphire  

When everyone knew

That you were made of sand

You could’ve had it all…

My intentions were always true

For you

But were yours true

For me?

You could’ve had it all…

the few good memories we made

Overthrew the countless bad ones

And it’s because I knew that you

Were capable of loving me too

You could’ve had it all… because you could’ve had me

But you were too thoughtless to ever consider the soul that you had, and lost
