I’m wanted
There are a few
Who desire
What I offer

I may be loved
There’s no proof
Who might
Long For this

I am scared
There are moments
Who knew
Days are long

I’m ok
There’s no choice
Who gets
That I’m alone

The wine
And the ****
Will get me
Through the night

The promise
And the words
Will get me
Through the day

The silence
And the loneliness
Will get me
Broken to pieces

Saddest girl
Brown eyes
Brimming
With tears
Unshed

Silliest fool
Heart in hand
Overflowing
With love
Unrequited

Lovliest spirit
Soul open
Praying
With hopes
Uninterrupted

I don’t know how
Without you
I guess I’ll learn

I feel lost
Without you
I guess I’ll find my way

I am alone
Without you
I guess I’ll be ok

I am good
Without you
I guess I’ll move on

He calls me beautiful
Yet I wonder
How I fit into
His world

He tells me I’m ****
Yet I wonder
How I’ll ever
Measure up

He comes back
Yet I wonder
How long this
Will even last

He makes me smile
Yet I know
How replaceable
This all is

You don’t know
My pain
You don’t understand
My choices
You don’t get
My reasoning
You don’t realize
My past
You don’t accept
My ways
You don’t fit
My path

You
I think

You
I can’t

You
I won’t

You
I might

You
I could

You
I will

You ripped
My heart
From my body

You betrayed
My trust
From my being

You exposed
My insecurities
From my soul

You loved
My self
From your side

You never
My forever
From my heart

You fell
Out of love
With me

There
Was no one else
Just us

I wasn’t
Enough
Or too much

We cried
At your choice
We were done

You still text
Years later
Regret?

You know
What you need to do
The time has come
Please don’t be afraid

You know
What the cliches say
Life is short
You should be happy

You know
What the past has been
Can you continue
To live that way

You know
The first step is so hard
Leap in faith
This life is yours

You don’t know me
Your struggle
Isn’t mine

You don’t live this
Your life
Can’t compare

You don’t understand
Your existence
Won’t comprehend

You don’t get this
Your world
Won’t collide

You are straight lines
I am scribbles

You are clean floors
I am dust bunnies

You are hospital corners
I am an unmade beds

You are perfect creases
I am wrinkled pants

You are straight and narrow
I am slightly off course

You are the one
I am the forgotten

You are in love
I am so afraid

You aren’t
The one for me
Time has told
The truth
I didn’t want
to believe

You aren’t
Enough for me
Lessons learned
The past
I wasn’t sure
To trust

You aren’t
What I believed
Fairy tales
The story
I dreamed
To come true

You aren’t
And that’s ok
The reality
The bittersweet
I accepted
To move on

You don’t know
My pain
The scrape
Of the needle
Across my skin

You don’t know
My existence
The facade
Of emotion
Killing my soul

You don’t know
My heart
The beating
Of life
Begging for more

You know the pretty
The made up
Put together girl
With curb appeal

You see the shiny
The presentation
Adorable lady
With hopeful intent

I know the reality
The crumbling
Sobbing mess
With heavy heart

I predict the end
The wreckage
Broken souls
With no hope

You correspond
Because
Your afraid
I’ll float
Away

You inquire
Because
Your scared
I’ll entertain
Another

You linger
Because
Your hopeful
I’ll return
Someday

You wonder
Because
Your terrified
I’ll love
Again

We are over
Yet your there

You aren’t attracted
Yet your there

You don’t love me
Yet your there

We ran our course
Yet your there

I’ll ignore you
Yet your there

I don’t need you
Yet your there

I’m ok without you
Yet your there

I hardened my heart
Yet your there

I love another
Yet your there
