A Conflict Of Interest

why do I still care about you

when every cell in my brain screams to drop you?

why do I still think about you

when my instincts cry to let you go?

why do I still let you wound me

when I know that you'll just do it again?

why am I still so confused

when my heart keeps telling me to forgive you

and every other part of me denies that sentiment?





how does it all come down to this?

why do I attract the broken

invite the ones who've been hurt

and then do the one thing that hurts them more

give them hope, then dash it to pieces

see their beauty, and then un-knowingly crush their heart?

I saw it one way, but my perceptions are marred

why do I find the broken beauties

and fuck up any chances of redemption?

earn their trust just to throw it away





why can't I just do something right for once?
