My True Colors [Poem]
I tried to show you shimmering steel,
But all that flattered you was rust.
I tried to give you my entire heart,
But you betrayed it in the dust.
You wanted me to try and fix you,
But you wanted me to break.
You wanted me to give my all,
So that you could only take.
I would dry up every tear
That you'd force yourself to cry.
I'd chase the demons far away,
Or at the very least, I'd try.
My love was far too genuine,
Too real, too great and true.
I guess perhaps my true colors
Weren't rusty enough for you.
