I tried.
Trust me, darling, I really did.
You were the 'whole package', as some people would say.
But the only thing missing was the most important one.
I didn't really love you.
You were perfect.
But all your perfection could never fit perfectly with my rough edges.
But darling, even if we matched, and every part of our personality meshed well with each other,
I always won the 'I love you more' game because you let me win
But we both know the painful truth
I don't love you.
Not the way you love me.
And I never will—
I'm sorry.
It may not hurt me as much as it hurts you, but hell, it hurts.

if you look at her closley
you can see that,
ever now and then
she turns away from her group of friends
her smile falters
and she becomes another person for a few seconds;
a sad person
a person who is broken and damaged,
and after a few depressing seconds,
she goes back to the group,
smiling and joking around,
she almost looks like she is actually happy
but if you look at her closely
you can see how spurious her smile really is
and you can see all the wreckage behind her fake smile.

As I was removing groceries
out of the trunk of my car
I looked up
and witnessed a beautiful scenery
The sun was just setting making the sky
a breathtaking shade of orange and red
It was so mesmerizing
I always had a thing for sunsets
It was at that moment  
I realized just how precious life was
and it was at that moment
I realized just how happy I was
to be **alive

I have a lot on my mind
but thinking about it
is a waste of time.
Ever since I've been lost inside
I'm trying so hard to be alright.

Did I....make a mistake by running away
from the thought of yesterday?
I never wanted to remember
all I ever wanted was to be okay.

Oh, what's the benefit
what's the point of it?
There's no need to mutter
I need to get better!

I just can't hold onto this  
so I don't overthink it
I should **** it up and quit.
I have had this problem many times before, but it's better to write a poem about it.
Let me know what you think.

The pain of losing someone you love
may be something,
But to be betrayed by your own flesh and blood
is everything,

Nothing is as vulnerable as exposing your weaknesses
to the people you trust the most,
The people you're willing to die for and you're
proud enough to boast,

And when the time comes when it seems
that everything is lost,
You become the victim when all you've tried
to be is a host,

Your greatest strength was your
greatest downfall,
You used to answer to their every
beck and call,

I guess it all comes down to just you after all.

I have the biggest crush on you and I don't know what to do about it. So I just sit there and admire you from afar, like a love-struck idiot. It's as if I've lost all cognitive ability to formulate any words to say anything to you. *You leave me speechless.
