Realistically Romantic

What would you do if everything you tried failed in love?

I tried really hard

You tore my heart

Piece

by

itty bitty

Piece.

I don't know what I was expecting

A heartfelt confession?

A secret romance?

But really I knew

I just hoped it wasn't true

That it was literally me not you

Sad but true.

And what would you think

If I dressed up real pretty

And asked you

what exactly you thought of me?

would I be in manipulating you?

would it even matter?

of course not.

these are the words spoken

by a loveless romantic

and a heart sick loner.

can I even say

we are "friends"

let's be real.

and let's be honest.

I'm the ugliest

and you're the hottest.

but you're practically married

and you're super duper sweet

so is it stupid for me to think

that you'd never want me.

of course it is.

I know it's stupid.

holding a torch for a guy with no lighter.

and that's not a euphemism.

what if I lost weight?

of course not
