First Love

by ImTheGirl   Sep 20, 2019


And in my mind I was never good enough for you
It hurts me to my core
I didn’t see us as simply not working out
To me it’s much much more

Years later it still affects me
And it’s hard to be with someone new
My mind always tells me I’m not good enough
Just like I wasn’t good enough for you

My heart doesn’t understand how you could just let me go
Walk away and not look back
How could you love me but leave me
In my head my mind flashes back

Chalk it up to first love they say
It was all just a fairy tale dream
It was never going to last anyway
Love is never as it seems

But when I look at me I instantly think of you
And I remind myself that I wasn’t the one
After all the years Of sacrifice and tears
I have to come to terms that we are done

I worry that they won’t love me enough
They won’t fight for me; you never did
If it’s so easy to walk away after 6 years
How can I give them a chance, no, God forbid

And all the things I begged you to do
You said no but then did it with them
It only added to my worthlessness
I’m in the deep end and can’t even swim

So I continue to choose the bad guys
The ones who should never get a chance
The ones who only offer fake promises
It’s like I’m in a trance

My self worth was tied to you
And now that you’re gone, I have none
I don’t know who I am or who I should be
It’s all over, I guess that you won
