To Be Loved

natalee • 182 followers

A solitary creature
Seems I'll be forever alone
Nobody to stand beside me,
No hand to hold

I'm not looking for someone,
I can do things on my own
Although I am very curious
About the unknown

On one hand, I can't trust
No assurance to be found
I'm not very dependable
I don't know if I'd want to be bound

But on the other hand,
Wouldn't it be lovely to be someone's significant other?
We could talk, laugh and love
It kind of sets my heart aflutter

However, I can be painfully stubborn
No one can keep me at bay
Besides, I'm an utter and horrid mess
Nobody would want me anyways

I don't know what to think
On my knees I've been shoved
Admittedly I guess it would be kind of nice,
To be loved.

Confessions Of A Slut

I feel so hollow, And I realize I have no self respect. I realize that I tell myself that all of these guys truly like me, They want to be with me. But they don't.

Like A Tree

(Contains a couple unladylike words). ***. It's a shame how sappy I truthfully am. Lovesick and emotional. Really now,. Damn. It's ridiculous. And sickening. I reread these posts. And want to scream.

Think With My Head

All the clouds have dispersed. I'm able to write chapter and verse. The shadows no longer by my side. Into the darkness they retreat and hide. My thoughts were clouded and wrong.

Yes...

#voicesinmyhead. Yes...I want but not you. Yes...I need but don't know who. Yes...I see but I already knew. Yes...I feel but don't want to. Yes...I listen but I also grew.

Too Late

I'm a self confessed anti hero of love. A realist of the heart. An organ that pumps blood all day, to me has no finer art. I've never pledged an "I love you", in the closing minutes of the day.

melancholy

I am in that place I thought I had left behind. A place I hoped to never find. This time I have let my actions play with my mind. Confidence I once found. Has ran away.
