It hurts

When you talk about herInstead of meIt isn't the first timeAnd it won't be the lastThat my focus falls onto unfit handsThat's okayWith you I learnedWhy self-love is so importantBecause I don't give myselfEnough of it, and neither do youNormally I'd bendHand you a flower And explain why You should love itBut you won't hearMy explanationSo I'll take the flowersTo someone who can see The beauty in them As they see In themselves
