Potential

Something died in me that day

the day you said you didn’t want me

well you didn't use so many words

but I knew what you wanted was not me

For months I was in mourning

over something that didn't exist

I mourned your potential

Something I imagined the first time we kissed

It was a tough pill to swallow

you were never going to meet the expectation

I saw something there but

it was just an imaginary creation
