14 Questions


Lately I have been seeing myself differently

Looking past my reflection in the mirror

Inviting my eyes into my mind

I get lost in there, seeing my thoughts go around and around racing each other 

Getting lost and thrown around

Do you love somebody else?

I look for you to help me but you’re not there

You haven’t been for a while

I’ve been looking for you to help me see myself differently

As you want me

Where’d you go and why didn’t you take me?

The beginning was fast and fun, you took me to new highs

But man those lows

Was I the only one rooting for us?

What else could I have done?!

I gave my all and you gave up so easily

It was so easy for you to forget me

To forget us

Did you love me at all?

Was my everything not good enough for you?

Was my best was your minimum?

What more did you want from me?

What more could I have done?

I started seeing myself differently

Should I have been better to you?

Better for you?

How could I have kept us strong?

I thought you loved me the way I loved you.

What can I do to make you love me as I am now?

As I am in my mirror

All that my eyes see in my mind is

Why am I not be enough for you?
