Giving in On Love

by Haley Wolverton   May 24, 2005


I sit in my room I'm still crying
and you try to make it fade
but inside I'm still dying.

I have passed your house a few times this week wishing I’d never met you
or never heard you speak.

Tears drip on my desk
and I ask myself again
what could I do to make it better
how do I not pretend.

Facing my public humiliation
I walk through my school
blood shot eyes I'm an open wound

turning my face toward every wall
I push myself against it and begin to fall.

My inside is turning delicate and fragile I break
I just am so unsure how much more I can take.

I wanted to have fallen and walked away fine
but I broke down in the process
and that’s why I emotionally die.

Everyone tells me it’s going to be okay
but I know it’s not
and that’s why im so scared every day.

I have no one left to point to but myself
I just wasn’t what was wanted and couldn’t even tell.

I realize now I am the one to blame
it’s all going to be different and I’ll never be the same.

    thanks i love you too i just need a little help i need someone to get me bakc up from all this mess. i don't want you to blame yourslef i really don't, i just wasn't the one i wasn't good for him...it's hell knowing that i loved him so much and i can't be w/ him anymore because he was everything and i just keep falling back on the thought that maybe if i hadn't ever doubted that he was right it would be okay. sometimes life kills you and sometimes you lose those things you can't stand to live w/ out but i have nothing i can do i can't make him love me...i gave it my all i was myself but myself just wasn't good enough. like i said he was the guy i just wasn't the girl...
