Unfinished Thoughts


I never understood love.

Yet I kept trying it,

kept stribing for a piece i'll never get.

Kept acting like it didn't hurt,

so they don't get picked.

Its not a poem, its something that truly hurt me.

Something that made me think about them daily.

Not negtive moments just when I noticed it.

Moments when I looked in their eyes and noticed it.

How I spoke my mind and they played me.

Yet I still smile in their face and greet them with baby.

But they never smiled and said it daily.

So I moved on and found my lady.

I may be young but I never understood it.

How you can cheat and be cool with it.

They claim their in love with you

,but lied,cheated ,and stayed unfaithful.

Stole your heart ,and 

really everything they brought you.

Smiled in your face and promised to never hurt you. 

Maybe thats just my love life ,and 

what ive been through. 

Maybe said fuck it.

But had a smile when I see you.

Ion hate you,

I just despised how you act good.

Like you "hurt'' but its really just to fool.

Therefore I don't express my feelings so I write it.

Write how you made me feel but made it hurt.
