I'm falling again
Falling for his deep blue eyes
Falling for his humor
Falling for his addictive personality
Falling for him.

But as I'm falling I think he's climbing
He doesn't like me, at least not anymore.
There may have been a time where he did
But I scared him off.
I'm being myself because I thought he could understand it
But he's just climbing away.

I like to think that maybe I'm falling from a high place,
And he's climbing from a low one
So we will meet again and realize.

But knowing my luck, I fall from the bottom.
he's so perfect but I'm not.
"Stop fishing for compliments"
It's the hungry who needs food most,
The poor who needs money most,
The unloved who needs love most.
It's the people who get the least,
that end up fishing.
I hope you get it. Everyone needs these things but yk.

when someone asks me my talents
am i allowed to say them, even though i don't excel?
i sing good, but im not amazing
i play guitar, but i can't play certain chords
i play tennis well, but i still double fault a lot
im ok at writing, but im no poet
im a good person
but apparently not a great one
I want to excel
the one that breaks you most
doesn't always have the scissors,
but the glue.
i shouldve saw it coming.

i don't often say i love you
but when i do its easy
but when you told me to say those three words back
i just couldn't do it
i  didn't realize how much this friendship has declined.
Why do I fall for so many people,
But no one falls for me?
Is it just me not being able to express it,
Or when you see me you want to take the express way?
Is it me talking a lot,
Or you talking to others about me?
And not positively.
I may get portrayed as the crazy one,
But all I want to get portrayed as is someone's love.
Why am I so different? Am I undeserving?
Its not specifics anymore.
Is it just me completely?
Because you all have just completely ignored me.
you know.
I wish I could go back.
I wish I could go back and ask you why.
I wish I could go back and have one more conversation,
About why you just stopped.
Stopped.
Was I being myself too much?
Was I not pretty enough? Not popular?
Too loud?
Loud.
I used to be loud.
I used to enjoy talking to you.
You made me feel like I could open up.
Open.
I can't do that anymore.
I can't completely let my guard down,
In case they're like you.
You like hearing "like you," don't you?
Like being liked? I can tell.
I did too.
You took away my trust, but still;
I wish I could go back to you.
He simply just left.
after you left, my heart was tied into knots.
you can't come back and expect those knots to be untied.
its simply not that simple

someone told me I can't be broken because we were never we.
you were never mine,
I was never yours.

I payed so much attention to what we could be
over what we were,
and now we're nothing.

its like we never laughed together
played together
sang together
or just simply sat together.

we had a together but we were never together.
we had something but now we're nothing.
we were never we.

I hurt.
not because the pain of your absence,
but the pain of what could have been.
another late night poem
I'm not sorry for falling in love with you,
I never will be.

I'm sorry for ruining what we had,
Because I fell in love with what we could have.
