Done With Me
Emotionally Drained
I hate the fact that I am alone
Or the feeling of emptiness
Lying empty beneath the throne
A shallow hole of darkness
I want you to be happy
Even if it isn't with me
Take you out for coffee
And cherish the memories
Watch you cry at night
Wipe those tears from your eyes
Hear you vent your emotions
Without showing my intentions
The simple gesture of being with you
Is enough to forget what is true
As each day would pass
Trying my best to make it last
Avoid getting attached
Since this may be the wrong path
I hate the fact that I can't do more
Hiding what's underneath the core
This may be because I am alone
With the feeling that you can't show
No matter what extent
You end up in his bed
Maybe its that charm that he has
Which I clearly lack
That charisma of some sort
I could only dream of
Destiny should take control
Some say make it your own
My interpretation of such
Honestly wouldn't be enough
Destiny works with mystery
You could wait and hope for the best
While watching the others mess
Praying that one day, it's me
Others would say create your own
But in every attempt, it creeps in
That failure is my only friend
Then again they say it isn't true
That maybe she wasn't for you
So what would be the right concept
In this world full of madness
Full of imperfection
Should I just watch you with him
And wait for destiny
Try my best to create my own
And watch me fall for nothing
Honestly its confusing
Hence, it isn't appealing
To just keep trying
Repeatedly failing
Maybe it would never work
Some people aren't meant for it
Should I just do neither
Watch my own world suffer
Maybe it's the fact that,
I just hate being alone...
