Supposed to

A love poem by adelinefecker

I was supposed to write you a love song

a fucking novel to express my love I was supposed to hold your hand, and make you laugh

I was supposed to kiss your lips

and look into your eyes unafraid I was supposed to be held by you

I was supposed to hold your fears

on my back and not crack from the weight I was supposed to help you

I was supposed to tell you I love you

But the words just wouldn’t come out I was supposed to make you feel safe

But I didn’t feel safe.

I was supposed to be proud to be yours

But also to keep it secret I was supposed to love only you

I was supposed to say yes always

And give you what you wanted I was supposed to be easy

I was supposed to tell you I miss you

But the keys wouldn’t go down I was supposed to make you feel safe

But I didn’t feel safe.
