Seriously i simply don’t understand, have i ever loved before?
Have i been loved before?
For love isn’t conditional
From winning competitions
From college acceptance letters
For the person i “love” is so beautiful i cannot see her face
The rays of love and grace that she radiates is blinding me
The warmth of her gaze is burning me
I only saw her for a split second
Tortured for all of eternity
But what rests in those eyes of yours?
There is something hidden in those black pearls of yours
Like the terrifying abyss
For I don’t need anything from you
My stomach is full of parasites
Is it the obsession I have of you?
Waiting at every staircase
To look for you in everything I do?
In those bottomless eyes of yours
I really wish we were meant to be
I’ve never wished this hard for anything
The reality is crushing me
Whether you love me or not
But you scare me sometimes
How did you pry open these walls with a single breath
You hadn’t even willed it
Could anyone be more beautiful
Is it too selfish of me to wish for you
To force these shallow emotions of mine onto you
Why has it been willed that you be in my life?
To torture this poor soul for all of eternity?
I’m simply a speck of a dust at the bottom of your trophy case
A worshipper in a sea of thousands
I don’t ask anything of you
Your presence brings me life
And your smile makes me happier than any man
There isn’t anyone who doesn’t love you
They say love is a beautiful thing
So why do I feel as a bug getting crushed?
I can feel my bones crunching
My insides are spilling out
As to die by your hand is still a
I don’t want to leave yet
I promise this time i’ll stay
Will one day you bother to look at me?
To look me in these disgusting eyes of mine?
Will you understand one day?
I want to take you down to the beach
I want to lay under the stars
Please don’t ask me to leave
Will follow you everywhere
And suddenly i’m begging on my knees
Praying to a god i’m not sure I believe
To let me sit in your shadow
I don’t want to leave you alone
I can’t tear my body away from walking towards you
To reaching towards you
To trust you with everything
I want to pour my love on you
I want to give you everything of me
But i’m afraid that would not be enough
I would die to see your smile again
I’m sorry I don't know how to love
I simply don’t know what to do with these feelings
Why does it hurt so much to love?
That makes my soul feel like i’m being ripped apart
To accept the fact that i’ll never have you
No matter how much i pray
As i look for you in the corners of my dreams
Will you turn you head to look at me
I’ve memorized the back of your head
The way you don’t put them on properly in the morning
I wish i could watch you forever
But a part of me yearns for you to turn
If only to look this decaying corpse
I want to know what you are thinking
When you spare me that glance
Yet i can’t find a door that fits
And the potion doesn’t work
No matter how much i drink
No matter how much i change
No matter how much i grow
I want to carve my flesh out
To fit the person that you need
Even if i have to fake it forever
I’m searching up horoscopes
Sun, moon, and star signs
So i observe you from afar
I write essays about the way you ruffle your hair
The way you lift your head to look at the conductor
And i can’t help but want to ask
Under that face for of laughter and smiles
Because there is something about your eyes
Like you would wring me dry without a second thought
And your look softens when you look at me
Are you even looking at me?
When i feebly handed you my life
Wrapped in purple tissue paper
With a hot pink sticky note
Why did you look at me with such sorrow?
I’m sorry I made you feel that way
You make me feel everything everywhere all at once
I don’t know who i’ve become
I’ve loved you for years and years
And you don’t know my name
Can i wish for such a thing?
Can i want something like this?
Is it too selfish of me to ask
For someone to give me their love as well?
Even if i’m everything you could ever want
I’m everything you could never love
