Foolishly Broken Hearted
The Truth
Why do I even bother? Why do I even try?
I'm not what you want, I never will be
You've made that perfectly clear without even speaking the words
I'm just what's currently available
Something reliable, something convenient
All because I told you what is in my heart
Everything I have come to feel for you
I should have stopped when I realized you never knew what to say back
The Fool who listened to her heart... again
It was only just a few months ago
When I spent most nights crying myself to sleep
Asking what was wrong with me and how I could continue to keep making the same mistakes
Feeling stupid and used
I am temporary for you
A toy for you to play with whenever you want until you get tired of playing with me
A warm body to fill the space next to you until you find who you truly want
When called upon, I came running back
Arms ready to embrace, heart ready to love, soul ready to heal what is broken
How am I to have the strength to heal you, when I know with each fleeting moment, all the love I give will eventually turn into a slap to the face?
