i am my own worst enemy

i need to get out of my head.

i know you'd rather i end up dead.

i can't keep thinking of you like this;

it makes me want to slit my wrists.


yeah that's sad, but i'm getting better.

i just need to get rid of your sweater.

i know i need to try and move on,

but you still have me trapped

even though you're gone.


i attack myself constantly

with what if's and if only's.

i never knew losing you

could make me this lonely.


every good thing i have

i throw out the door.

i cannot fix it, 

what do i do it for?


it begs the question;

am i my own enemy?

i am so deeply in love with you

for which there's no remedy.


they say time will heal,

but am i willing to wait?

even when i don't think of you,

i still have that date

seared in my brain.

i'll hide my tears

and cry in the rain.


i don't regret us;

i hope you don't either.

but i'll admit that

it's probably easier

than facing the fact

that we were in love.

no matter how hard we tried

love just wasn't enough.


screwing myself over

seemed to align with destiny.

why am i always

my own worst enemy?


again and again

i lose all empathy

because i am 

my own worst enemy.


i lose my mentality,

i lose all sanity,

worst of all i lose you

because

i am my own worst enemy.
