He Doesn’t Know He Loves Me

A Poem

By Destiny MoorePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

He still doesn't know I love him..

he doesn't know I still think about the day we met

he doesn't know i made a promise to myself

never to love him like i did before.

well it's safe to say i broke my promise

i fell in love with the way he said my name

the way he wrapped his arms around me

the name calling and teasing made all the memories real again

He doesn't know I love him

He just doesn't know

when i get high, he's all i talk about

high words are sober thoughts, right?

I can't seem to shake him,

he's like a cough that can't be cured

with cough syrup

a fever that keeps rising in temperature

the feeling when he caresses my neck,

makes me melt every time

makes me pour into the cracks of his teeth

he only grins when i look

laughs when i talk

rolls his eyes at my attitude

uses his affection to break into my heart

He doesn’t know he tricked me..

started typing when I had enough

said all the right things

as soon as shit got tough

He made promises

ones he couldn’t keep

But he doesn’t know he loves me

The way he laughed when he was with me

The way I made him smile

I made him want to make promises

I broke him down

I took every last ounce of love he could give

I promised myself I’d never let him hurt me

not again

So I had to show him

Show him what hurt was

Show him he couldn’t get me

He doesn’t know he loves me

but what I do know for damn sure is

he’ll find out soon
