***
You know I hate to do this
Wish that there was some other way
Most of all it makes me loathe myself
To utter words I'd rather not say
Crossed arms
Blank stare
Frustration caught in throat
Tempted to sneak out the window instead
Leaving nothing but a note
I should have known better to start with
Heart in pieces
Too sharp to touch
But I want to move on and be happy
Maybe I don't deserve that much
I never seem to have control
Feelings roam wild and free
Why the **** am I attracted to
What is the absolute worst for me?
Then reject those who show they care
Hoping you will crawl under my skin
But I am simply a game to you
I should have learned by now I can't win
Why do we love the ones who hurt us and hurt the ones who love us?
