i’ll be fine

if you ever loved me
i’d thank you endlessly
if you loved me for all you've heard
then you'd just love the lines of my words

if you loved me for all you've seen
only your eyes would have loved what’s been

if you loved my muddled mind
my chaotic heart, my marred soul entwined
then truly, you'd have loved me
the flawed and tangled version i long to be

but if you didn’t love me, flaws and all
then you never loved me, not the slightest, not at all.
