I Realized Nothing Is Permanent

Somehow, you got into my brain
When you first called me perfect, but
I couldn’t believe it
All the beautiful things you saw
Were never there; for I was filled with
Sadness and pain
I was worthless.
I no longer thought
I meant something.
Everyone told me I couldn’t.
And one day, that was all I could think, even when
You told me I could.
I was a failure.
I couldn’t believe
When you said I was special
I told you not to.
But, you kept trying, even though
I was a mess.
Run away.
I can’t believe you didn’t
The day you first met me
(A year later, I read this backwards)
