Avoidance

August 17th, 2024

I feel unlovable
Like all that I give
Is all I’ll experience
From love
There’s no reciprocation
I’m just not the one
For you, and you
And you, and you
Endlessly
I can’t keep pouring out
My love
While others only give their doubts
Expectations expressed
My needs always unmet
The bare minimum will always be too much
Because I seek out people incapable of love

Fairy Tales

August 12th, 2024

I have spent all year
Keeping myself at a distance
Loving at an arm’s length
Embracing resistance
Never putting in more effort
Than someone else
Not letting people know me
Or being my true self
Because the last person
That I let myself close to
Left like I was no one
Memories I can’t redo
Now the people I talk to regularly 
Don’t even know my name
I met them through gaming
And they know me as Grimm

The Fear of Hope

May 12th, 2024

Life is flying by
I don’t know where I’m going
Wrapped up in a fantasy
And lost in the unknowing
I’m chasing a feeling
That I may never find
Someone to love
Who may never be mine
But I’m optimistic
Even when no one has stayed
And I’ll let them know me
Even when I’m afraid
