You say I'm fine the way I am but in the way I am I don't love you back

by tntcl

I dim the lights, I sit in my bed, listening to the ac drone, on and on and on. I blink my tears into the corners of my mouth, and then wipe em away, because its weird, right? to eat your tears? I think of you. God, had I been made into a body that sees a good thing. God, if I had been made into a body, that is drawn to something better than what I've allowed. I say things out loud. Things I coat in sweetness, because I love you, too, dude. Just not in the same way, you do me. And god, aren't we all looking for that one, that does us? And if I did you, the way I am now. You'd find the reasons why I shy, why I know unsatifactory, I promise. You say you wont, But god, thats no way to love. You are my reason to flee from the solitude that quite scares me from the rubbers I use to numb me to keep me good in bed, but not quite good enough to get in their head I avoid the competitive types I like being wanted but I don't need to know about the hurt about who came first I comprise the story, in my head every day, and I know that I'll never be enough not cause' I didn't try. But because I've never really wanted to. Because I've never wanted to be enough
