I'm nothing
A waste of time
Don't bother getting near
You want to know the truth?
More ****** up than I appear

Miserable brooder
Mistaking mess
Will simply bring you pain
Six letters provide new meaning
To expression "ball and chain"

Dwelling on you 24/7
I'm ultimately obsessed
My adoration becomes an anchor
Heavy on your chest

When having a good day
Can brighten up your sky
The majority are bad
I can't even tell you why

Never pleased with what I have
Consistently wishing for more
After I lose what's mine
I appreciate what I had before

So if feeling curious
Should look somewhere new
Walls are way too high to climb
Do not bother attempting to

You think you can change my mind
Sadly that is not so
Is safer to emotionally detach
Which is the reason I am cold as snow

My heart has broken too badly
To adequately repair
I've given so much love away
Haven't got any left to share

I hate sleeping alone every night
Long for someone to call
Can't love you the way you deserve
I can't be with you at all

Do you even realize the damage you do?
All you ever seem to think about is you
Vanishing act wrapped in a shiny bow
Incredibly sweet when you do finally show
Done with your ******* games because it's always deja vu

A girl used to inhabit the sky
Cried every day without fail
Until teardrops froze her to ice
And her shattered pieces fell like hail

It's the little stuff that gets to me
Each and every single bitter day
Problems act as anchors
On my heart they weigh
I'm too weak to hold my body up
Baggage makes me fall
When I'm forced down to the ground
Have no choice but to crawl
Sitting on pavement
Staring at sky
Stars appear clear a moment
Blur when I start to cry
Here I am
All my sorrows
No light giving me hope
I can't even tie a noose
Because it's too dark to find a rope

Wilted carnation
Just a reminder
It could've been better
Could've been kinder
A poem I wrote many valentine's days ago
