Why do I empathize with those who hurt me
Logically explain away their behavior
Downplaying my pain in the situation
Still believing they’re my savior
Is it because I miss being madly in love
Because instead I am just mad
And I’m chasing down a feeling
Of what I’ve never had
When emotions were high
My inhibitions were low
So I loved people
Until they let me go
They didn’t want me
They wanted the fantasy
Still searching for the person
Who wants the real me
