Before

You turn away with anger
Listen to my thoughts
Watch the words fall from my lips:

I’m only speaking the truth.

I deserve love too.

You weren’t being mature
Telling me I could never understand.
Didn’t need to ‘dummy’ it down for me.

Let me clarify it for YOU.

I deserve to be loved too.

You said sorry to just to play the martyr
But I see right through the transparency
Of your fallacy.

Igual como tú.

I deserved to be loved too.

You could never look into my eyes after the fact
And I felt like torn paper
Fibers floating off into the air

It does nothing to simply think, but saying this soothes.

I deserved to be loved by you, too.

You perhaps will be alarmed
At how I creep into your
Dreams and kiss your forehead, unfazed by your negativity.

Perhaps there lies my proof.

I deserved this love just as much as you.
