all those empty promises you made for me,,
every single word you said to me
all those little gifts you gave me
i never forgot them .
and i dont blame you because i left first

i left first because
i was too insecure.
i noticed every little detail,,
the way you looked at her, the way you talked to her
you never looked at me that way

so i wanted to believe the headpats and hugs and thumb wars you shared with me

but your forevers were only ******* because as soon as you left too
you fell in love again .


-by the cold-hearted ***** you once liked .
when i was in love with him, the only two things i could think of were of him and how long it would last. i guess i know the ending now .

I want to find the joy I once felt
I need the validation
This world doesn't give headpats
It is unyielding in its apathy

No amount of singing or dancing will bring rain
Just as no amount of praying will end pain
I am truly alone when I am with others
For it is there where I lose myself

There is a disconnect in me
Something not quite right
I should be feeling fine
Maybe I've built up a resistance to my happiness
Like a drug

— The End —
