Half Measures
I know what it's like
To feel alone in room full of people
To cry yourself to sleep every night,
Cursing the universe for conspiring against you
I know what it's like to just be
I know what it's like
To have heart a heart so heavy
You get down on your knees and pray to a god you don't believe in
This boy you love
You won't find salvation in his embrace
His forehead kisses won't save you
Having *** with him won't complete you
Get down on your knees and beg
Beg for him to feel anything
Beg for him to make you feel alive
Beg for him to love you back
He won't
You deserve so much more than half measures
You deserve a 'can't wait to read your favorite books' kind of love
A 'can't wait to to listen to your favorite bands' music' kind of love
A 'can't wait to watch reruns of your favorite show- no matter how lame it is, just to see you laugh' kind of love
You deserve someone who will do anything in their power to watch you walk down the aisle, with a smile on your face and tears in your eyes
You deserve someone who chooses you every day
Puts you first
Makes you truly happy
You deserve that
Please let go
For when you're ready to listen
