"...because you're pretty"
glowingwaffles Oct 2020
Stop telling me i’m pretty
i’m broken and destroyed, but You can’t know
i’d let You in my world, but You would rather leave. Probably.
Like everyone before You
i’m complicated and confused
Sad and numb
So stop telling me i’m pretty
i’ll fall in love with You

i’ll fall in love with You and regret
You’ll regret
That You talked to me in the first place
Flirted with me
Made me laugh
Got me to open up and share my darkest secrets
You’ll regret missing me
Thinking of me
Fantasizing of me
Because You see
i’m a toy
A broken toy
Once loved, always forgotten

But if You show love to this toy
Instead of just playing and throwing
If You show care to this toy
Without dropping and breaking
Then do call me pretty
But don’t make me regret
Or Yourself regret
That i may fall in love with You

If desiring was an object,
  then suffering would be the price.

I didn't feel like talking
but I like being with you
the Quiet full with thoughts and musings and possibilities
your presence illuminating
my cold soul within.
Understanding
even when you don’t fully understand what a broken cold soul I am
you moved further away
though
not too far, but far enough
far enough to miss you
far enough to lose you
enough to forget you.
The silence, one that held serenity
became loud
deafening almost
when you moved
your presence a mere memory.

— The End —
