I often wonder the unintended consequences of a good deed.

And I will end the year the same way I started it.
Alone.

I trusted you with all of my heart,
but you decided to tear me apart.

To the girl with a crooked smile
I haven't seen you for a while
But last time I did
You were sporting a split lip
And a black eye
Are you alright?
It always looks like you've just lost a fight.
I gave you my address
In case you needed to escape
To a safe place
But you never came
Did you find a better place
To play hide and seek?
And as the news come on
It's looking rather bleak.
Tragedy struck our little town tonight
Because dad got drunk
And you didn't want to fight.

I will romanticize the things that I am
in poems.
Maybe then I can trick you into falling in love with me.

And then I realized- painkillers don't do **** for heartache.

i am so self absorbed
i am basically a sponge
and you are a sink full of water
i will take all of you without even realizing it,
without even trying to because
that is just what i do
