A poem about a relationship.
I love you,
Eight letters of crap to fill my heart,
That night you stole everything,
The time you tore me apart.

Forever,
Seven letters that are nothing now,
Like those times you broke my heart,
Leaving me with no explanation how.

Always,
Six letters to describe how long you never loved me,
The word that rings back and forth in my head,
The word that seems to explain what I know see.

Heart,
5 letters; the thing you took from me and tore to shreds,
Like I did to the thought of you,
To keep me from loosing my head.

Tear,
4 letters; that thing you see everytime you make me upset,
The thing that you never quite understand,
You promise to never do it, but that hasn't happened yet.

You,
3 letters; the thing I used to always love,
The thing I put out of my mind,
The person who pushed me away with a shove.

Me,
2 letters you never accepted in your mind,
The thing you gave up forever ago,
The thing you left far behind.

I,
1 letter, one person, one time I won't fall again,
One chance that you blew off over and over,
One last time to see your face, to see my everything-more-than-a-friend.
