It means nothing, does it?
You could hold my face
and look into my eyes,
but do you even see me?
Your gaze is lust-laced;
your kiss is driven
by a passion that
does not belong to me.
It's all fake, isn't it?
This flawed perspective
that makes me think
this connection could be
more than physical.
In the same breath
that you called me beautiful,
you will leave me
because that's not enough.
It wasn't worth it, was it?
I wasn't worth it, was I?
I knew it before it started
but somehow I let it get here
knowing rejection would befall me.
It always ends in pain;
I wanted you to pursue me
all the while knowing
the chase ends in heartbreak.
I think we all know someone
I think we all know someone like that. Good poem.
