A dreary winter's day

I waited all day for you

Maybe I already knew

My love for you

Was unrequited

Would you marry me

If I was healthy?

Don’t answer that

I don’t want to know

It would hurt too much

I feel so empty

I wish you cared about me

Even though you forgot me

Still I let you vent to me

Whilst my heart failed me

I don’t know if you realize

But I wrote you on your day

While hospitalized

Because you mattered to me

You might be the most selfish person I’ve ever met

And I wish we had never met

No matter how badly you treat me

I can’t seem to forget
