Condescending Smiles

you made the stars seem dim, 

but not because you shined brighter. 

it was because you talked about them

 like they were just dust. 

you painted every blue sky a shade of grey, 

and you made me believe that it was

all just the weather. 

it came easy to me, 

believing you. 

letting you take my very best 

and turn it into my very worst. 

and instead of happy endings

it ends like the movie 

your friends tell you not 

to see, 

because it will all just 

bring you down. 

and i told you i loved the moon

and that i thought rain was beautiful

and that i dreamed of big cities 

and that i would have died for you. 

but you told me i was 

being ridiculous, 

dumb, 

immature. 

and i just stand there, still loving you, 

watch you give condescending smiles 

to what you're really thinking. 

and i just wished everything away, 

time and all your walls 

you built around yourself. 

but just like snow in the winter 

sticks to the ground,  

i let you stick around, 

no, i stick around you.
