Let go
do you really want me to give up
to let this all go
to not try anymore
okay..
that's fine,
I will
I'll be your friend
and that is all
let everything sexual
or romantic go
since this is what you want
it's going to be so extremely fucking hard
and it will eat me from the inside out
but I will
I am tired of watching you
get so hurt
from me
just trying to love you
so I'll let it go
I won't ask anything of you
I will not stay over,
I do not know how long I can fake
pretending that I am happy
or fine
but for you,
so you can feel okay
I will let go
Mistakes
I do not
want to be
another one
of your mistakes
I do not
want you
to fuck me
because you feel
you have to
or hate me forever
the way I am
is not the way you are
and I have been loving you
the way I need to be loved
not the way
you need to be
I'll take the step back,
and drown it inside myself
so that you can be free
I do not
want to make any more
mistakes
or be one of yours,
or you
one of mine
Not here
I did my obligation for the day,
I worked,
but that doesn't mean
that I am here,
I am not alive
I can't feel completely,
it's not an emptiness
it's something new entirely,
its pain,
