You Told Me

[shadow_scribe]

You told me if I didn't wear that shirt
You would love me twice as much.
So I avoided that shirt
Until I willed to
Send it to charity,
Even though it was my favorite.
Maybe you loved me
A little more.
Who knows?
At least you loved me.

You told me if I straightened my hair
You would love me like rainbows
Embrace color.
So even though I hated
Every moment of it,
I made my unobedient hair
Listen to me.
I spent hour after hour
Taming it,
But you never seemed to notice.
Maybe you loved me
A little more.
Who knows?
At least you loved me.

You told me if I left one friend
You would love me like as
We were rubber and glue.
You had no idea
How much it pained me to
Leave her,
But I wanted your love.
Maybe you loved me
A little more.
Who knows?
At least you loved me.

You tole me if I was skinny
You would love me so much more.
So I only ate yogurt and salad
And I puked every time
I knew I ate too much.
My jeans grew loose,
And my skinniest t-shirts looked too big.
Maybe you loved me
A little more.
Who knows?
At least you loved me.

You told me if I smoked
You would love me like Jesus would.
So I hid those cigarette packs
From my parents
Under my pillow.
I'd turn to one every day after
School.
Maybe you loved me
A little more.
Who knows?
At least you loved me.

But when you flirt
With that other girl,
The one that was my best friend,
And leave me here to die,
I wonder if it was ever worth it.
