Here I am
At 12:28 a. m.
Pulling at my hair
Tears on my cheek
Whispering to myself
"Why am I like this?"
"Why am I a disaster?"
Caught in the middle of two people
One who cradles me gently into each night with soft
kisses and sweet words, who is intertwined with my life
in a way I can't explain
One who carries me through the day and is sweet
beyond words but for some reason as much as I love
him I can't help but want more
Is there something wrong with me for being a complex person,
for feeling conflicted?
For having thoughts and feelings I can't explain?
For wanting what I can't have
For longing for more with someone new.
For wanting to be happy?
