Value

Value

The regard that something is held to reserve

The importance, usefulness, or worth

I let love lose value

Simply because I felt as if I wasn’t valuable enough for love

I watched you love her

And him love her

And he love she

But none of those loves were toward me

Nor did they contain a we

I let love lose value because the love I give isn’t the love I receive

It gives me no room to breathe

I suffocate under the need to have someone love me for me

Everything plays in repeat

I let you in

We commit the sin

And yet again

It means nothing

Nothing

I got to the point where I felt nothing

And the thought of you whispering sweet nothings into my ear

We’re no longer held dear

To my heart

I hope one day my love for love will restart

Because love used to be such an art

It was more than just having a counterpart

I let love lose value

Because I couldn’t find the brighter side of it all

I let love lose value

And it sucks because in the end what I really should have let lose value was you
