Failsafe

-
 I just want to be someone’s first choice. 

I don’t want to be the failsafe.


I know I get breadcrumbed more than I want to admit.

I get lusted after and told what I want to hear. 

I know men can see how much love I give. 


They are like dementors sucking the joy and happiness out of me.

I am their emotional support person.

They love the attention I give them


They like having me be their girlfriend without the commitment.

Giving them that relationship treatment without them even trying.

Constantly giving me the bare minimum.


I do this to myself.

I give too much.

I always give myself the sliver of hope that they will change their mind and want me. 


But I know I’m not the girl they want. 

There’s always a girl better than me.

The Calls

-
  I need to stop giving do-overs   To people who treat me like left overs.  Am I even interested? Or is it just the attention that you give.  I desperately want to be seen. I want the romance and everything in between.  I see the potential in what we could be.  But you only call me when you’re feeling lonely. I am a placeholder for when you’re between girls.  I will never be your whole world.  Every time you call I think you’ve changed your mind.  And I just keep forgiving you time after time.  I need to stop giving into you whenever you call.  Because I know you don’t want me even a little bit, you don’t want me at all.

The pit

-
I wish I knew why I hurt so much.   It feels like everything is pouring out of me.  I struggle to get out of bed in the morning.  I’ve lost my hope and motivation. I feel myself sinking into this pit and I’m trying to claw myself out.  I start to climb out and I always slip and go back down.  It gets harder to breathe down here. It’s getting darker the more I slide down. Can anyone hear me screaming for help? I feel like my screams are silent.  I just keep searching for a hand to grab to help me out of this pit.  But I know I won’t find one.  There’s no one out there looking for me. Im sliding deeper and deeper down. Maybe one day I  will be  strong enough to climb out.

But a lot

-
  Crying over a man who never loved me.   How pathetic it feels to care so deeply, For a person who doesn’t even want me.  The way I put him first before me.  Will he even think about me once he’s moved to another state? All the times we went bar hopping.  All of our “non-dates”.  I hate how much I’m going to miss you.  The fact you probably will never give me a second thought.  I hate how you will never feel anything for me. When I’m crying about you because I care, not just a little bit, but a lot.
