I don't understand what you like about me

Is it my poor social skills?
and my hatred of small talk?

my ever-changing laugh?
the way I avoid eye-contact?

It can't be my bulging stomach
my un-groomed eyebrows

I don't know
but you should stop because you'll get hurt

I'm a failure

I got rejected from sixth form
I lost all of my friends
I'm single.

It's awful to think that my mum is ashamed of me
but I can feel it
she raised a weird kid with no friends

intoxicated by the buzz of new years
drunk on cheap beer
high on strange pills
dancing to stupid music

when I first met you
you were skinny
with funny eyebrows
stupid hair
and a soft voice

when you were my boyfriend
you were muscular
with cute eyes
soft lips
and a warm body

when we broke up**
you were skinny
with crooked teeth
ridiculous hair
and an acne ridden face

tomorrow I'll see you for the first time in weeks
you missed me
I missed you
but I won't feel the warmth or comfort radiate from you
like it used to
it's my fault
but I can't pretend to feel something when I don't

your aura will be an ugly colour
you won't be the same
you won't walk me home
hold me
touch me

the last time I saw you
we fought
you were a storm cloud of emotion
I was the moon,
inconsistent
glowing
and not all there.

don't tell me things won't change
they have changed
and there's nothing I can do.

I'm sorry.

I've always imagined what it would be like
to wake next to the one you love
the one that loves you

the thought of being with somebody
possesses me
becomes all I think of
before I fall into a deep sleep

I still crave your touch
your hands around my waist
your soft lips on my neck

I sought safety in your muscular arms

laying next to you was perfect
the way you held me
the way we played together

But I wore a mask around you
which I nearly took off
but I didn't want to scare you
with my ugly face or my ugly feelings
my fear of losing you was far greater than my desire to let you in
to my twisted confusing ******-up head
