Pieces of You.

I love you, not who you pretend to be (2025).

I am bits and pieces of the people
Who have loved me the most
And of whom I have loved the most.
I am bits and pieces of both you
And the person you pretended to be.
I only loved one of you,
But now I am a piece of both.
I hate to be a piece of the person
You pretended to be
Because you made him for someone
Who hates us both.
Why did you do that?
I wish you could see
That YOU are worthy of love.
Let me love you, Goddammit.
I hate how much I love pieces of you
that you are scared to let me love.
I hate how much I love the pieces of you
that you pretend do not exist.
I want to fix you because I want to love you.
