unrequited

Always overanalyzing,

crying and justifying

Convincing myself and pretending

"He didn't mean to!"

or,

"He knows what he's doing."

The slightest act and I overreact

Like turning his back or like avoiding my path;

or like holding a grudge or like stomping off mad,

Dictating my mood I end up anxious and sad.

I'm unequipped. The love I made up is a myth.

I mean he said it himself,

maybe I should just quit.

But how can I do so when I crave for affection,

my mind chose him

Chemical reactions in my brain

A defense mechanism to keep me sane.

And sometimes when I fall asleep

I block my thoughts and try not to weep

To lose myself in a loving lie

Deluding myself so i can feel fine.
