I Don't Count

Silly me

I am incomplete,

as incomplete as last night's meal

I didn't eat,

as incomplete as a leaf without a tree

Like my heart has been ripped out of me

I'm incomplete

You don't want love from someone like me

I don't count

Ignore all the words that escape my mouth

Like a fly in a hurricane

You shut me out

I loved you then

I love you now

Silly me

I don't count

I am incomplete,

as incomplete as last nights meal

I didn't eat,

as incomplete as a leaf without a tree

Like my heart has been ripped out of me

I'm incomplete

You don't want love from someone like me

I don't count

Ignore all the words that escape my mouth

Like a fly in a hurricane

You shut me out

I loved you then

I love you now

Silly me

I don't count
