How to love


I walk into your paths i wasn't meant

to follow. I have my own dreams to share.

My heart cringes when you said you had sent

your love, when all you pretended was care.

my pain is your happiness. I know that.

But was it so hard to give me a hug?

Or say you loved me once? Exclude the bat

you had in your hand claiming there’s a bug

under my skin only your eyes can see.

My eyes start to cloud and rain is pouring

down my cheeks. Wondering if I could be

what you wished for me to become. Forming

to be nothing. Please give me your heart now.

Someone, teach me how to love! Please? How? How...

I love softball, I have 2 brothers and one amazing dad. Unfortunately, my birth mother decided to leave from my life but it's for the better :)
