I have doubted your love for a while now
Nothing big, but whispers here and there
The sighs and the stares
That tell me your patience is wearing thin
I am not too keen
Don't want to know how long it has been
Since you stopped meaning your "I love you"s
I don't want to know who you stay up with
And if she's giving you everything you think you need
Asking will give me an answer, I know
But I'm not ready to hear the truth
That your love is not what it used to

Would i envy the couples
Walking down the street
If you ever did anything
At all for me
If you didn鈥檛 only call me after midnight
If you held my hand under the daylight
If you cared enough to tell
Im suffering in this hell
Called almost
But not quite
The bare minimum
Provided high

And if not now
Then maybe I can join you
In our next lives
Or will it be a re-run
Of past time's
Never minds

I want chivalry
A gentleman
I want open doors
And pulled out chairs
I want flowers just because
And hand-holding everywhere
I want my purse held if needed
And my shoes carried if they hurt
I want to know I have an arm to hold
When I'm walking on uneasy ground
I want the heaviness of the world
Taken off my shoulders
And coats protecting me from the rain
I want protective glances
And glares responding to lustful stares

Love is selfless
A purposeful act of giving yourself to someone
Regardless of whether they will offer the same back
Love doesn't ask for reciprocity
Or any act of gratitude in return
But sometimes
Love is
My lover pulling up a chair
To help me trim my nails
After I rub lotion on his back
It's in those little moments that you realize
In the least expected ways
Love always finds its way back

The you I know
Does not exist
The you I know
Is nothing but a distant memory
I know that I鈥檝e
Created you
In my head
You鈥檙e not flesh
Just my lonely imagination
Wanting more than pain

Maybe one day, I will show all of this to you
And laugh at how ridiculous it was
To think that we were through
Or maybe this will be
The last and only thing
Connecting me to you
I hope that one day you get to read this
My diary of you
And I hope that when that day comes
I am long gone
I do not want the pity it would bring
Of all the suffering i lived with
I just want you to live
With the knowledge that someone loved you so much
So that you will never settle for less
I hope it takes you to my grave
Or to that special place back in town
Please don't let it bring you down

Phantom Feelings
There are strange creatures that follow me around
Every time I go swimming, I can see him floating just out of reach
I try to always keep an eye on him
If I submerge myself too deeply, I fear he might push me further in
Late at night, I sense him, staring from the other side of the window
It's too dark to know for sure but I feel him standing there
I feel as if he was trying to turn the knob of my bedroom door
The whole house is asleep, there is no one there
There are bugs crawling around my hands as I type this
I try my hardest not to squish them, I would not want that on my conscience, right?
I gently try to shake off the feeling of them on my skin, I don't want to hurt them
Why are you being so gentle, there is nothing there
I have terrible hearing
Still, there are sounds that I can feel
The vibrations of a far away car that isn't there
The ringing in my ears from my sister's nonexistent screaming
The scraping of my mother scribbling with the pen that lies unused on the table
My father's sharpening of knives long after he's gone
They are all sitting across from you, there is no sound to be heard

I want to be the cool water
That runs endless in your glass
The always-sharpened coal
Ready to fulfill your words
I want to be the warmth
That calls you to bed, time and time again
I want to be the fresh food
Awaiting every morning in your fridge
All this to say
If I had
More to give
I would gladly give it all for you

How much is too much
How long until you have taken all from me
I can change and mold myself for you
But how much more can my heart take
If all I do is wrong
All my efforts are never enough
If all that I am is just simply not right for you
It is always too little or too much
Or just enough but not quite right
When will it ever be enough
For either one of us

Despite the endless nights
I have devoted to worshipping you
And the sacrifices I have made
In the name of our love
Nevermind the dulling of my shine
And letting you break my spirit and my spine
Nothing will ever be enough
In your heart, I will never deserve
The love that you are not willing to give me
I will never be enough for you
Will never meet your expectations
My love will never reach your heart
You are tearing me apart
Trying to forcefully search for and take
What has been willingly given from the start
All I wanted was your heart
All you wanted was my fall

Repressing the need to say I love you
The reverberating, insistent call to let you know how much you are desired
Has led me to suppress the feelings themselves
You have stripped me of my innate need and want
The goddamn right
To say I love you a thousand times
I still do
But love has never felt so blue

"I love you," you reply
That is not what I said
I'm in love with you
You do not respond
But the unspoken question
Has been answered
You will never be in love with me
No matter how long it has been
Since we first said I love you
No matter the sacrifices
Or the bruises and scars
I will always be the one
To break your fall

In a way, I got what I wanted
You are with me everywhere I go
You will haunt me forevermore
And see, I told you
I loved you more
See, I wasn't wrong
You are still everything I need
And that with tears escaping my eyes
You would be breaking my heart
In a million tiny pieces
And they all cut like glass
Looking back at my own reflection
It hurts that it's all my fault

My every waking moment
Is filled with your presence
To the point where missing you is no longer possible
I cannot miss you
When i have become
A mere extension of your being
I am but a distant piece
Of your soul
Seeking your presence
But never having left it

You expect so much
And you take
And take
And take
From a love
You have never
Been able to
Reciprocate

I'll take the blame
For every crack in the walls
Of the house we built
I'll say it was my negligence
That rot our garden
Careless mistake, our windows tinted brown
Our roof collapsed
Our floors all mold now
We are in shambles now
And if it means you will survive
If it means you might go and build
Better walls on the next town over
If it makes you take better care of your house next time
Reminds you to water the garden after you plant
If it might be of any help at all
I'll take the blame for it all
