Enjoying your company despite my distaste for other people

Smiling and giggling even when I just had a bad day

Smelling your scent on me keeps reminding me of you

Feeling scared that one day you'll disappear and I'll lose this bond between me and you

Thinking that hopefully we can make this work because I always think the worst

Loving someone is foreign to me but deep down I know I've always loved you

Admitting that is stretch for me however I hope you can see my sincerity

Coming to you in all transparency and hopefully in your heart there's love for me

Someone told me that "love is around the corner" and hopefully their right.

At a point I want to hold your hand
I want us to be together, one
Then my feelings change and twist around
Afraid this battle cannot be won

If you touch me I would like to scream
I promise this isn’t your fault
I cannot feel the same as you
So lock me in some vault

This pretty picture, lovely in my head
I can’t act it out to reality
I don’t want you near me, let me free
There’s something wrong with me

You’re a sweet and lovely guy as it goes
I’m sorry I’m your pick
But I can’t continue anymore
I’m starting to feel sick.
my thoughts when ending my first relationship due to feeling...like this.
|| Layers, ||
                           ||| layers, |||
                                                           |||| layers ||||
To each person there are many
I have mine: from the two-piece I always wear
To the intangible levels that make me who I am
And you have yours: from the one-piece cropped tops
To the varied fronts you show to hide your vulnerability.
With the help of your hands and charm, I unhesitatingly and slowly peeled off my layers
To show you who I really am:

                                   Genuine, unbroken, pure

You on the other hand,
Your layers unraveled themselves
Over the months
Giving me a picture of who you are:

                                       Bro//ken, afraid, [closed-off]

Not giving me a chance
Only giving me excuses
For why there can’t be more.
The one layer you did not want to peel off
Would reveal and open your heart
I revealed mine, foolishly thinking you would do the same
But you never did…
