The three R's are what you follow

Pursuing mindless pity and empathy for everyone else's sake.

But yet, why not mine?

Do you not know how much you hurt me?

Every step of ignorance tearing my heart inch by inch,

And you do not know how minuscule that particular object is

I've tried talking to you

Heard, not listened 

I smile at you

Eyes blinded by illiteracy

I run away, a pang of sorrow in my heart

Running the wrong way

Has the taste of my faithfulness left you drugged?

Believing the very fact that I will never leave your side?

That very trust is hanging by a single thread,

but you continue to abuse that fragile line

Did you know,

That every time I see your face,

A feeling of longing overcomes me?

Of all the gazes I've thrown at you,

Death glares,

Sorrowful glances,

and pleading looks,

every which of the likes ignored by you

Never look my way, as you continue to feel oblivious to my own tears

Rip

Reprieve

Repeat

Please stop it

You've taught me my lesson the hard way

Love is dangerous, and I won't fall in love again

Even though I've never even asked for the moral of a love story

I've learned that you can't tape a heart back together, no matter how much glue you use

The pain of you ignoring me broke it even more, making the pieces even harder to find

But I hope it stays that way

Because if I ever

See your your face in any emotion

Touch your skin that is ever so soft

Or hear your musical laugh

I think I'll die
