Description "i know you love me."

darling ,

i love the way you look at me
with eyes full of adoration .

(but that gleam has disappeared)

i love the way we gab and gab
about nothing and everything
at the same time .

(but we haven't spent a 4am together
in quite some time)

i love the way we can fight through
the thorns of life together .

(but now my body is filled with splinters)

i love the way you tell me i'm beautiful
and i know you mean it in every way .

(but now you can't even stand the sight of me)


i'm going through the motions
of heartbreak ,
the stages of grief.

listening to your ramblings
about how you think you know me .

but the thing is ,
darling ,

that i now know myself
better than you ever could.

That was a very powerful poem, I loved your use of the parenthesis to put an emphasis on what has been happening recently as opposed to what happened in the past, and your dismay with it. Wonderfully crafted!
