These mistakes
They have no purpose
They serve only to distract
From that distant feeling
To keep me just in tact
I tell myself I’m bored of games
That I’m better off alone
But it’s always the same.
I’m just another face to you
You’ll soon forget my name.
Every moment, every kiss
It’s just another thing
that I’ll soon miss.
And when we touch I’m okay
At least until the next few days
I want to fall in love with you
I want a happy end
But doubt is such a big part of me
That I cannot pretend.
I tell you I’m not scared.
That what will be,
Will be,
Don’t you realise that’s just a ploy
The way that I protect me
And I was born as one person
Not half looking to be whole.
I thought I understood
That it’s just a freak show.
That they call infatuation
Because I’m insecure
Why should I be doomed to seek
What I feel
I am
No good for
