I was in love without you

One of those rare times where my poem actually rhymes

I was in love without you

You were never there

I lied to myself

When I said I didn't care

I was in love without you

Chasing shadows down halls

I acted like it didn't matter

When you'd never call

I was in love without you

Empty touches breaking hearts

I thought that I would end it

Turns out there was no start

I was in love without you

Eyes gouged out, can't see

That you were just a lesson

Your love wasn't meant for me

I was in love without you

Now I'm falling for myself

I refuse to be a thing

That isn't worthy of your shelf

    Well done! I always find it so hard to do rhyme, just takes so much time. Loved that couple “ I thought I would end it, turns out there was no start”
