&quot;You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust i&#039;ll rise&quot; - unknown<br /> &quot;no matter how far you go down the wrong path, you can always turn back&quot;<br /> &quot;once you hit rock bottom, theres nowhere to go but up&quot;

You used to be amazing, boy
You used to really shine.
I used to dream about the day
That we could kiss and say “you’re mine.”
But you’ve changed over time
To a monster I don’t know-
Clawing at me to get to their hearts,
My blood dimming your glow.
You were peaceful in my eyes,
A leader of a thousand doves-
I’ve watched you alter, watched you morph,
Now witness every pitiless shove.
I won’t ask for a change,
But secretly pray that you do,
For I’ll never consider myself blessed,
Until I have the old you.

This is about a guy that i used to like and he liked me back. Over time though,he wanted to get into the popular crowd and would bully me in-front of them to try to impress them but didn't realize that they didn't find that impressive.
