You Deserve So Much Better Than Me

I'm a wreck,

Torn apart by irrational emotions.

Longing for something

I thought I once had.

Living in a handful of past days

And dragging my feet into the future.

Ungrateful

And petty.

Why must you be so wonderful?

You never run out of magnificence,

And I can't seem to keep up.

And yet, you never leave me behind,

And it hurts to know,

That I am so plain, and boring,

And I just can't compete.

I love you even more,

Because you love me...

Even though

You deserve so much better than me.
