You emptied my wallet

And I think it emptied my heart.
How do I say you broke me
Without saying I love you first?
I'm starting to lose faith in "happy"

I believed love would make me happy

It hasn't.

I believed education would make me happy

It didn't.

I believed he could make me happy

He can't.

I even believed the pills would make me happy

They haven't.

I feel as far away from myself as I do from being happy.
Have you ever laid in bed beside someone who loved you and somehow with your whole heart still believed your soulmate was still out there somewhere?
How can I many ways can I say

"I'm disappointed"

Maybe I'm a traditionalist

Expecting you to provide where I can't

Expecting you to clean when I provide

Expecting you to try harder

I'm tired of feeling like a criminal.
I swear half of you is perfect for me

I swear sometimes when we're in bed together I can physically feel your love

I swear that you wake up everyday and believe you are doing your best

I swear when you smother me in hugs and kisses I want you forever

I swear that you're damaged like me and it heals both of our cracks to be together

But I swear you make some days impossible

I swear some days I'm more disappointed than proud

I swear some days I've cried more than smiled

And I swear I don't know if this really will be forever for us


and that scares me.
Sometimes I hope a car hits me

Just so I have a reason to cry

And if you've ever felt that way

I feel as sorry for you as I do for myself.
