Reasons We Had To Forget About You

Poem on light pink background with line drawings of two roses. Titled "Reasons We Had To Forget About You". Text reads: You didn't know if you loved me but I loved you completely You made me feel like I wasn't enough in so many ways... Not thin enough Not young enough Not clean enough Not pretty enough Not well-off enough Almost, but not quite, cool enough How could you judge me? You didn't even know me Not the real me; I kept her hidden Because you would not have loved her Although I guess it didn't matter Because you didn't love the girl I created for you Not really Not in the way she/I needed But the saddest thing was For so long she/I believed you That we weren't enough Until we became one and discovered The truth is we are too cool for you Richer than you'll ever know We're effing beautiful, inside and out When we aren't suffering from a breaking heart we have energy to clean And F you for caring how young or thin we are We're healthy now Our heart and body healed from you and the wounds you inflicted so casually As if it was nothing to break someone you professed to love You don't know the meaning of those words These are the reasons we had to forget about you
“Reasons We Had To Forget About You” an original poem by Dee-Writes
