Apparently this is how rebounds are.

I guess I've never loved enough,

To ever have one on a crush.

Well I've never been in love.

I can surely say though,

That I love this one very much.

His face is ingrained into my mind.

The familiar name scribbled on my heart.

How long will it try to tear me apart?

Whenever I see him,

Real or in pictures,

That is when my heart bursts.

At random times my heart aches.

I literally feel it crying in my chest.

My brain also won't let me forget.

I will always love that one.

I did, I do and I still will carry on.

Now someone else though,

Threatens to steal his place.

I don't want to let him in,

But I can tell he's creeping in.

I can tell that it would be nice,

But he has nothing on him.

I can daydream both of them up.

He is still my number one.

Seeing his picture,

Is what makes my heart swirl.

It must be curiosity.

I've heard about rebounds.

Of course I never understood.

If this is one then are you sure,

That they are not an evil curse.

It attacks me inside.

Making me feel so guilty,

Does it show on the outside?

Apparently you can rebound from a crush.

Let's be honest that's all he is,

Even if I think it's more.

To me right now it feels like love.

Too bad it's not returned.

This came from a crush.

The one I love.

The one I got rejected by.

It's okay, I see how I'm not enough.

Even if you said yes,

Even when I asked you out,

I knew how crap I was.

I knew you should have better.

This makes me feel bad too,

Because I gave him the option of having someone.

Someone who is not enough.

He deserves the best.

The only person I could think up,

That would be worthy of his love,

Well that's impossible.

No one deserves him,

And there's no one good enough for him.

I'm at the bottom of my chart of worth.

I hate living with myself,

So I don't know why I'd want him to love me.

I know you said I'm perfect.

I know you said you cared.

You also said you love me.

You know I love you more.

In a very different way.

The way you love me is plenty.

More than I deserves,

But I'm sorry that's just not enough.

Not when I've fallen so hard.

I'm here on the ground,

Just watching you standing tall.

Without a problem.

Never going to fall.

Well not for me anyway.

That's only what I dream.

I actually like this heart break.

Even if it hurts a bit,

Or a lot.

At least I almost have something going on.

I'm sorry but it is what it sounds like.

I want something to be sad about.

I want my heart to break.

Then I can learn what love feels like.

I know this stuff sounds twisted.

You're like, who are you to think that?

I find it twisted too.

Maybe we all are a bit on the inside.

Deep down.

Most people wouldn't think this.

Yes I want more pain,

Of which none I have.

Don't ask me to explain.

I highly doubt I can.

I want to promise I'm not that bad.

That I'm a good and nice person.

I don't know if I can.

In not sure if it would turn out to be a lie.

I want to stop thinking of this other person,

In this way.

I only want the one I really love.

The one who I know doesn't love me.

But if this new person of interest does.

I've been trying to think of what I'd do.

The answer to that,

I have no clue.

I'd still be thinking of him.

I don't want to let myself do that to him.

Go out with someone,

When my hearts with someone else.

I don't know how to stop it.

Some would say stop bothering with the first.

He doesn't love you anyway.

They don't understand how much I don't want to.

I never want to let go of him.

This other persons just a rebound.

Keep your head, heart and eyes faithful.

Don't let your daydreams drift.

How long will you linger
On my skin?
Why do I feel you
When I'm wrapped up with him?

He kisses with your lips
Your fingers dance on my hips
If I close my eyes
I can almost pretend

But his fingers grab too tight
He is trying to push you out.

I bruise,
I bleed.
But you are the one
Who broke me.

His marks will fade
You will linger on my skin.

When the beat of your heart
is the alarm clock of my dreams.
I still have three more hours of sleep.
Crusty eyes nod off
as I put off the inevitable —
to empty your promises
of being faithful.

Cause last night I couldn't hide
red sober eyes that realized
I just wanted the wings
from your back.
I just want you to text me back.
And you did for awhile.
I kept you from texting your ex
for a while.
And for a while,
the strings of my heart
sewed yours together again.
Broken wings healed,
but fearing flight,
tearing mine.

Every time I forget,
or, at least,
seemed to forget,
you'd come back and haunt me with your stares.

Every time I finally
wasn't thinking about you,
you'd be there
to fill up my thoughts once more.

We were sweat soaked sheets and *****.
Logic drowned.
Hungry lips among naked limbs,
a comfort sought in arms found.
We were stress released,
our playful violence unrestrained.
Each wanted. Searching within the other,
never properly attained.
We are fists of hair and clawed skin,
Finding ecstasy in pain.
The hurt from one another,
cover the other scars that still remain.

There has to be another explanation for all of this.
Please tell me the real reason.
Please tell me that you never used me.
Please tell me I wasn't a rebound.
Please tell me that i'm just over thinking all of this.
I'm not okay.
I need closure.
The right kind of closure.
Please tell me what you felt was real,
because all I feel right now is pain.
just a draft. nothing serious. idk. bleh.
