I often wonder what it is you don't like about me

is it the way I leave my hair unbrushed
and tucked behind my ear?

the way I can't speak
whenever you're near?

the way I try too hard
but still don't know what to say?

the way I can't seem
to keep my demons at bay?

the way I can't sit still?
the way I'm always filled with dread?

the way I can't seem to get it right?
the way I blush bright red?

the way I bite my nails?
the way I like everything about you?

because these are the things I don't like about myself
so I'll understand if you don't like them too
I'm not sure I like using rhyming schemes

today I know for sure
that I have pushed you out
and you are not in my heart
    (you are as far away as you can get from it)
but I am scared for tomorrow
and the day after
because you always have a way
of making it right back into
the middle of my heart
no matter how badly
I wish you weren't there

when you brush past me in the hall
I no longer feel it
when you brush through my sight
I no longer see it
when you brush through my thoughts
I no longer want it
when you brush through my life
I no longer care at all
I don't want to want him anymore and I think I'm finally getting there.

you never needed
me
not the way
I need
you

you are both my only downfall
and my only success
my heaven
and my hell
my enemy
and my saviour
my reason
and my excuse
my angel
and my demon
I can’t decide
if I can survive
without your love
or without your hate

a life spent
falling in and out of
unrequited love

you can only miss someone for so long
before that grievance for their absence
turns to resentment for their presence
and you start to feel
like missing them
isn't so worth it after all
