crying upside down

k

You only seem to care when you're drunk or otherwise impaired
but maybe you're just scared of commitment.

These promises you make when we're barely awake always seem to fade by daybreak and I can't take this anymore.

If you play with my emotions always bringing me up and then down and I never know if you'll be found with some other girl,
then maybe I'm not the one you should run to when you want to have some fun at a party.

I am enough for you and if you can't understand then maybe you don't deserve to hold my hand and tell me that I'm beautiful.

These words I say to make you pay are not enough because words need actions but you never act
instead you live your life of lies never caring who you disguise yourself as or who you make cry.

You only seem to care when you're drunk or otherwise impaired
But maybe you're just scared of commitment.

I'm back, I guess! I haven't posted on wattpad since 2014, which is a long time haha. Wrote this poem a year ago (June 2016) Hopefully I'll be writing more poetry as I try to express the many thoughts and feelings I'm about to experience at college, so stay on the lookout!
