I am doing everything I can, not to love you Convincing myself that I do not need you Failing to do so each time I am doing everything I can, not to love you Searching ruthlessly for pieces of myself that I have lost Writing about how I do not need anyone to fill me Drowning in this agony trying to remind myself that I know how to swim I am doing everything I can, not to love you But I cannot help myself I am endeavoring with everything to keep myself away But I cant I am drawn to you like a sinner seeing the light I am pacing myself for the fall Assuring myself it won't hurt that bad Dragging my feet backwards away from you But you are a magnet and I am only a piece of metal searching for something to attach myself to I am doing everything I can, not to love you But frankly, none of it has worked And for that I am sorry, both to you and myself
