He Didn’t

He loved his mom

He loved his car

He loved his jokes

But he didn’t love me.

***
He picked his laundry 

He picked his fights 

He picked his nose 

But he didn’t pick me

***

He knew his Maths 

He knew his Physics 

A little bit of biology 

But not our chemistry 
***

He called the shots 

He called the tune

He could call anyone’s bluff 

But he never called me. 

*** 

So I backed off 

Turned my back and I walked away 

Ran as far as my feet could take me 

And grounded my feet in a most solid place 

A place where I am more appreciated 

I appreciate my finding this place 

This place where I truly belong
