All I Wanted

All I wanted was to feel important to you. Like a key player in your life. That was asking too much. Don't be surprised when you look back and realize you lost something you undervalued and underappreciated. I'm lost and broken, but I'll be fine. At the end of the day, it's just one foot in front of the other. 

Unwanted

You make me feel unimportant. 

Less than the bottom of the barrel.

Barely seen.

Just a passing thought. 

I remember when your excitement of seeing me was overwhelming. 

I remember how hungry you used to look at me.

How seen you used to make me feel.

But as time has passed, you push me away. 

You pick fights. 

You make me feel unloved and unheard. 

For so long all I've wanted is my partner in crime. 

But I can't keep fighting for someone who doesn't see my worth. 

I can't keep fighting for someone who doesn't fight for me.

It's so hard because I put my all into everything I do. 

Loving you was no exception. 

My world began to revolve around you, and I didn't really factor into yours. 

Your affection is different. 

The way you look at me has changed. 

And begging for you to give me attention leaves me feeling pathetic and unwanted. 

I'm not this girl and I refuse to be. 

I don't want to feel like this anymore. 

I just want somene who wants me just as much. 

Someone who doesn't think I'm asking too much when I ask for time, attention, or healthy communication. 

Your touch feels different. 

Your lips feel different. 

And I'm left feeling like I failed at life yet again. 

One more to add to the notches in my bedpost. 

Maybe I'm destined to be alone. 

Maybe this is something I need to accept. 

Falling Out Part Deux

I'm training myself how to fall out of love with you. 

You see, because when I fall, I fall hard. 

I love with my entire being, my entire heart. 

It's unexpected, but everything happens for a reason. 

It's not okay now, but it will be. 

I lost sight of myself a little loving you, but my focus is returning. 

The love I had for you is now being filtered back through me, because self-love is most important now.

Heartbroken is never a state I want to remain in long. 

I just have to stay vigilant that what's meant to be will be and the rest of the chips will fall where they may. 

Haunted

I'm jaded, pieced together jaggedly, haphazardly. 

My past haunts me like a blanket, wrapping me in the coldest of embraces. 

Some days I feel whole, as if I'm not held together by a thin wire. 

Others my mask falls and I'm left feeling like the fraud that I am. 

A broken doll hiding behind the facade. 

He holds the power to destroy me, and it's both beautiful and terrifying. 

What is to say he will want to protect my heart with the same tenacity I do?

Her.

It's hard because some days I only want to speak to you. 
I only want to hear you scold me or tell me you're disappointed in me. 

It's something I need, almost like the air I breathe. 

You were my best friend, confidant, and never afraid to speak your mind on my life and choices. 

I feel like I've been spiraling since I lost you.

Some days, it feels like I can find my way again, others I feel hopeless. 

All I can hope is that you're with me no matter what. 

Through good and bad, through thick and thin. 

Don't agree with me, but love me anyway.

These used to be my little secrets, and now they're ours. 

I won't be a disappoinment forever, I promise. 

At some point this lost stray will find her way again. 

Don't lose faith in me. 

If this isn't the end, then I'm not quitting.
