Don’t make me feel this way, please,
Don’t.
Don’t make me feel hollow, frayed and
afraid to show even the slightest echo of emotion.

Don’t make me be like you, please,
Don’t.
Don’t make me be heartless, cold and
Ashamed to feel even the slightest hint of hope,
Of love, that maybe we could have been something more than
“Just friends”

I showed myself to you, you showed little in return.
How foolish of me, how cruel of you.

They say it is cowardly to make a soul fall in love with no intention of loving them back. I agree.

I thought I knew enough of you to understand.
I thought I knew enough to understand.

You make me feel this way.
You make me feel ashamed of myself, regrettably so, and you make me feel.

You make me wish I’d never met you. Not always, but sometimes.
Some days it is all I can do to forget you, and that hurts me. I never wanted that to happen.

You made that happen.
You are making that happen.

As each minute, hour, day, week, passes by I still miss you. I am foolish.

I should hate you but I don’t.
I should hate you, but I don’t.

I found a lonely wing, and I wondered where it’s flown
All the places it has seen, all the flowers it has known.
Now all but one wing has disappeared
Leaving behind a dozen stories,
I wonder, tell me, where did they all go?

My eyes are hurting and my head isn't clear
Is it so wrong of me to say that I wish you were here
With me. We could sit up all night if you'd like that
We could sit up all night if you'd like too.

My hands are trembling and my lips growing numb
Contemplating how it'd feel to feel your fingers and thumb
With mine. We could hold hands all night if you'd like that
We could hold hands all night if you'd like too.

I’m the lonely one,
And all I ever do is try.
I’m the abandoned,
And all I ever do is sigh.
I’m the one who stands alone, and all I ever do
Is wish, is pray, is hope one day
That I’ll be someone too.

I’m the hollow one,
And I only ever try to please.
I’m the mistaken,
And I only ever try to see.
I’m the one who cries alone, yet all I want to do
Is love, and share, and hope one day
That I’ll be loved back too.
