Unknown



Do you know what you did?
She trusted you.
Every single inch of you.
She’d have kissed the
ground you walked on.
She’d have crawled
to the end of the galaxy for you.
She put you on
the tallest column.
Thought you hung the moon,
controlled the stars.
You threw her to the curb
for pick up Friday morning.
Shame... for she was one of a kind.
One day you will see
all she wanted was to be seen.
