I used to think
i wasn't good enough
you made me think
i wasn't worth anything
to anyone
i used to try and impress
you
to make you notice
me
but you were always
looking the other way
and i tried so hard
for so long
i used to cry myself
to sleep every night
longing for you to
hold me
to love me
but you never did
and slowly
painfully
i started to realise
i was and am
a worthwhile person
and it's not me missing
out anymore
it's you
one day you will
wake up
to the truth of what you had
and what you threw away
but by then
i will be far away
and you will be the
one
left alone crying into
your pillow
