Miss myself

 When emotions were churning,

And thoughts were taking a stroll.

I might seem weak

but had a compassionate soul.

I miss myself, but I learned to move on.

When actions ran faster

 than the words and thoughts

I might seem asinine

but had a brain free of knots.

I miss myself, but I learned to move on.

When chatting was relentless,

knew no boundaries or societal rules. 

I might seem promiscuous

but had a heart so free and cool. 

I miss myself, but I learned to move on.

Now, I have me and myself

no one to talk to or to judge. 

When overloaded with excitement 

I share this life fudge-

with me myself. 

So no more missing, and I learned to let it go.

You never loved

 When your self-esteem superseded your love

you never loved

When you confused your loved one's emotions with cowardice 

you never loved

When you wanted to change the people you loved most

you never loved

When you couldn't  love yourself, how could you love others

you never loved

When you couldn't touch the depth of a relation

you never loved

When you had to use more words to express emotions

you never loved

When your selfish desires made it to the top

you never loved
