I should’ve known I was set up for heartbreak
The moment my eyes settled upon you
You were a modern Mozart
Wild hair and hands that could create
The most beautiful music
I yearned to be your piano
I wanted to be your favorite song
Maybe if I hadn’t been so young
I would’ve known that you were
A beautiful disaster
I had so much love for you
Just bursting at the seams with affection
I would’ve given anything to be your girl
But I didn’t know what to do
My teenage days were filled with a
Poe-ridden depression
Because I kept trying to make you mine
Always chasing your love
Not knowing that your heart
Was never something I could steal
Facing the world like I had been locked
In Mr. Rochester’s attic
Screaming at the injustice
Of being unloved
Not knowing that only some of us
Are meant to be the heroines
While the rest of us are forced to be
The villains
When I finally vomited my heart
Leaving it on your doorstep
You pitied my frailty
Wishing me good luck
But had I been lucky
I never would’ve met you.
Nicely written.
