Settle

Settling for less,
the one I felt was my perfect match,
didn't feel the same.

I self sabotaged to push him away,
instead of being open,
I burrowed in my shell.

I told myself I'll ruin things,
if I brought the burdens of the past to dwell.

Now I'm always longing,
itching to find that same feeling.

Say it ain't so,
everything is dull.
