Falling in like


Dear potential lover,

You try to let me down easy.

But each time I find myself 

falling harder than the last.

Do you know how much it hurts

when you push me away? 

I feel unwanted. 

But mostly, I feel ashamed.

You can have my leftovers.

Shit I don't give a fuck.

But don't come crying to me, 

when you find out

he ain't all that he seems. 

Love, a broken heart
