I Looked Good On Paper

~

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

It didn't matter how much I worked for her,

she would never love me.

It didn't matter how many love notes I wrote her,

she would never love me.

It didn't matter how many flowers or gifts I bought her,

she would never love me.

It didn't matter how many tears I cried over her,

she would never love me.

So why did I try so hard, for so long, if it was all in vain?
