Displeased - by Erik Smith
could you explain something
to me
how do i put all of my energy
every thought and tear i have
into a comitted relationship
and it falls apart in the end
work my ass off
neverending sympathy
every hour of every day
draining everything out of me
only to watch it crumble away
am i really this fucked up?
enough for all that work to mean nothing
so terrible that i can only feel for others
too horrible to be felt for
too fucked up to try again
would it be so painful
just to give me a chance
my heart goes haywire every time
you blink you speak you move you think
i'm destroying myself
because i can't do anything right
i've been drowning in this
so fractured and tired
so damn uninspired
angry with where this is going
