Poetry

Addicted

Here I go again,
Crying the tears I've cried before,
I swore I wouldn't let anyone persuade me,
To open up my heart once more.

It started out as friendship,
I never thought that it would grow,
But then you tempted me to love again,
How was I to know?

Why give me a taste for what it's like,
To have someone to hold...
And now that I'm addicted,
You suddenly turn cold.

When you needed a friend to be there,
You knew you could count on me,
To listen when nobody else would,
To see the man that you could be.

You weren't there for me this evening,
When all I needed was a friend,
To talk to and to lean on,
With a shoulder they would lend.

You didn't have time to hear me out,
You were blissfully unaware...
Yet you think that we could be happy,
When you don't even show you care.

I thought that you were different,
You would include me in your life,
But you can't even prove to me,
That your priorities are right.

I know I'm just a simple fool,
For hoping you'd make me feel,
That I am no longer alone,
And possess a love that's real.

Was I really just scared of being lonely,
When I dreamt of being yours,
Though your love was never meant for me,
I could not see past your flaws.

Why am I so doubtful,
Of finding a love that's true,
Someone who'll love me just the way I am,
I guess that just isn't you.
