I Have Never Loved You (And Other Lies I Told Myself)

A Poem

I never loved you.
you never made me smile, you never made me blush
I never cared, you
never stole my heart, was never my crush

You didn’t break my heart
Never killed my soul
Didn’t shatter me to pieces
Never part of my whole

Such lies and deceit I have sustained
Conjuring this false reality
Wherein I have never loved you
And you’ve never hurt me
