I act tough
Say I'm heartless
When I'm just hurt
Saying I have no emotion
But I am overwhelmed with it
I say my soul is black
The past has rotted it to nothing
I build walls high enough to keep people out
But have trapped myself inside
Surrounded by the lies I've told to cover up
The fact that I am broken
Never believing the lies just living with the tragic truth
What's behind these walls will ruin anyone

I keep people out in order to save them
But who will save me from the war in my mind

Before you, I was a mess on the verge of ending things
You only had one thing in mind like all the others
Hoping I can overcome my weakness
I gave you a chance
You helped for a while,
I thought I was finally normal with these feelings you brought me
But you only wanted what was best for yourself
Never thinking about me
I wish you never tried,
You left me in a bigger mess than I was before you

Leaving me alone would have kept me sane
But it's not like I had mattered to you

12
12
It was a simple number that meant something to you
And I admired that
You memorized it and it was yours everyday
May 12
You didn't text
You didn't call
You knew
You had to know it was part of our everyday routine
The one person I wanted a birthday wish from
I constantly checked my phone
And I was constantly let down
It hurt me even though I'm the reason we ended
A simple happy birthday

Also celebrating the day you let me down
Balloons filled with sadness
Cake made with heartbreak

I don't want it.
Even though I've never known it.
I'm not strong enough to handle it,
It will destroy me.
Doubts will linger,
Bring caution to my thoughts.
But curiosity will allow the doubt to disappear
Letting me slip into what will never last.
It will destroy me.
I'm already broken.
Never wanting to love or to ever be loved
Pushing away
Even when I yearn for them.
There is no cure for those like me.
Love is incapable of easing the pain
Only wrecking the damaged ones further
It will destroy me.
Mark my words
Love will be the cause of my death.

Tainted by others
To scared to give love a try

Putting you through this is not worth it
You already have to much to worry about
I'll just make things worse
You see what I want you to see
And that's what you want
But that's not the real me
You would never be able to handle the real me
My breakdowns
My constant isolation
My negativity
My sadness and tears at @2 am
The never ending pain
Trust me I'm saving you the time
I'm not worth it

A day at the beach is worth the tan
A piece of cake worth the calories
The sadness the controls my life not worth becoming your problem
Samantha Marie Aug 2017
I used to pity my friends
They fell so easily
Never failing to coexist perfectly with an admirer
Becoming best friends and lovers
Until the day they break apart
Leaving memories with a mixture of despair
I believed getting over a person was simple
Stop texting
Stop calling
Stop thinking about them
Then move on like it never happened
But that all changed when I met you
When I myself fell
I fell for you, when I told myself not to
Now I pity myself for missing you
10/24/17
I used to tell them to be strong and move on
but you have made me weak like they have been
I resent you for that
I resent myself even more

— The End —
