I’m Afraid That You Became Everything I Hate

Days are growing shorter,
And nights longer.

I’m so sick of every part of you,
Your sight haunts my dreams.

Your smell still lingers on my pillow,
Not allowing me to forget your indescribable presence.

The feeling of your lips on mine will never fade,
For that moment was the cause of the everlasting butterflies in my stomach.

I will never be forever yours,
She is always in the way.

Your face will soon just be a broken memory,
One of those that fade like the wind.

I can no longer face you with such confidence,
That was broken so long ago.

Your eyes burned into mine with so much intensity,
I thought you could read my mind.

I’m afraid that you became everything I hate,
The monster in my head.

I feel like the bird looking in on your perfect life,
The invisible person in a crowd.

I want to see the real you,
Not the you that hide behind this cool façade.

You the person who I fall asleep thinking about each night,
Dream of, then pop in my head when I awake in the morning.

Would it be cliché if I told you that ‘I love you’ is an understatement?
I adore everything about you.
