Array ( [sid] => 150081 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Waiting for 'love' [time] => 2009-05-22 08:35:52 [hometext] => this was just something i wrote while waiting for the person who broke my heart to pick me up. so yeah. its rough but PLEASE leave comments. [bodytext] => Standing alone in a room
filled with 'friends' and family
trying to fit in
trying to look ok

Constantly having to remember
to smile
forcing out a shallow
fake laugh

the outside looks fine
nothing has changed
but inside i'm broken
slowly drowning

not able to show
the hurt
not able to show
the anguish

holding my ribs
so tight
as if if i let go
i would fall apart

you were my world
a reason to be
why i woke up
and got dressed

for my world around me
was falling apart
i was drowning
and only you knew

i wasn't looking for
a lover
when my world fell apart
i needed a friend

Someone to turn to
when times are tough
someone to catch me
when i feel like i'm falling

i confided in you, my pain
i asked for your strength
i needed your help
you abandoned me

you left me broken
bruised and torn
betrayed by someone
I love

yet even though
you have done all this
I still love you with all the pieces
of my shattered heart

like a dog
kicked by its master
that still returns
eager for more

pushing you in arguments
trying to hear those words
the words i know to be true
but you refuse to say

for why would you
hurt me
why would you
betray me

why would you
leave me
if these words
were true

i try to understand
i NEED to understand
i need these words
to move on

unless you say
these words i need
i'll never be able
to let you go

say you don't love me
i want these words
yet you keep saying
"I still love and care for you"

how can you hurt
someone you 'love' so much
how can you destroy
someone you 'care for'

we're perfect together
you've said so yourself
i'd risk everything
to be with you

sacrificing everything
while you did nothing
never giving an inch
it's like you didnt care

i want to be your knight
your fairy tale ending
to make you happy
for as long as i live

no one will ever understand you
like i do
No one will ever love you
like i do

If you just let me
i could make you happy
happier than you've
ever been before

but you thought
i needed more
you were afraid that
i was getting 'attached'

you're so scared
of hurting me
so you push me away
even though that hurts most

The smell of you
once so sweet
now is so bad
i can barely stand it

the sound of your voice
once so angelic
every time i hear it
i cant help but cry

I hate that you make me laugh
i hate that you make me smile
but most of all i hate
that i could never truly hate you

I hate that dispite the pain
deep in my heart
i hate that dispite all the
tears i've cried

i love you.
i hate myself
for loving you. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 221 [topic] => 22 [informant] => angel-1 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
