What's Wrong?

January 25, 2022

You asked me what’s wrong,

What’s wrong is her

My feelings

My view of you

And my capability to trust others


I want to trust you

I want to trust her

But I can’t


I’ve been screwed over so many times

That I am incapable of trust

Incapable of having others trust me

Incapable of trusting others

Incapable of trusting myself


You ask me what’s wrong

I want to tell you

But you’ll deny it


The problem is you're not able to see it the way I do

I want to think you can

But I know you can’t

I’ve been through this 

With you 

Once before


Why do I keep going back

When things keep going the same way it has before

Why do I keep trying to see the best in you

When I know I’ll be searching for eternity


I love you

I think

I don’t know why

There’s just something about you that 

draws me back again and again

But I can’t help to wonder if 

I’m not that somebody for you as well


You ask me what’s wrong

I go to tell you

I change my mind

Because the words you are going to say

Are not the ones I need to hear


They are not the words to confirm my feelings


Honestly though 

I don’t know if I want to know

I don’t know if I want that confirmation


Maybe

If I do get the confirmation 

I can let it go

Or Maybe

I’ll let you go


And that’s what I’m afraid of

And in the long run 

That’s ultimately my issue


The fear of losing you

Once again

I don’t know if I can handle it


All Over again

With that confirmation

My love

Demolished


Once again

My love 

Forgotten


Again 

My Heart

Broken
