Delimma?

By Black_Cherry_Doll_

I feel so lost and
All alone.
Too confused to know which
Way to turn.

I want out, it's true
But I'm too much of a
Coward
And my obligation lies where it does.

I want you, it's true
But we will never happen
And I need to forget you.
But somehow I can't.

Sometimes I wish you could just be
An asshole so I can hate you. Maybe
Then I wouldn't hurt so much. But
I don't think I could ever hate you.

Life just let's me down. Or maybe I just set myself up to fall forever in this bottomless pit
I call mine.

This is too much to handle and I'm only 20.

I can't follow my heart, it doesn't
Even know what it wants.
If I keep it safe
Am I destined to be forever unhappy?

Why is it you make me happy?
I've never trembled at just the sound
Of any man's voice on earth.

I'm not complaining
I just need to get this out.

We're not going anywhere
So what's the difference when I
Say I still care?

I'm searching for the answers
I just need some help
What's wrong with me?!
These words, they just slip out.
And I stumble and I fall
And I try not to let you see
But I'm afraid I'm so obvious.
I'm nothing
