In K's Shoes

She said "No, I'm not that broken. I'm just not as whole as you. So don't stand there with your judgment and pretend to know what I'm going through. I'm never feeling lonely but I always feel alone. So move closer and just hold me. If you can't do that then go." He doesn't deserve your laughter and I don't deserve your tears. If it's not your heart that he's after then why do you keep him here? He says hello from a distance but never close enough to hear the words. He's got a mellow, cool resistance to any love for him that you have inside that burns. He has you at your all and I have you all in pieces. He's the reason that you fall and I'm the one that sees it. He makes you laugh. He makes you cry. He fills you up. He bleeds you dry. You want what you can't have and he has what he doesn't want and I'm stuck pretending not to give a damn as I watch you crumble as you give this man your heart and your affection. And for what? A small part of his attention? You're just a body, someone to fill an empty space. Do you think that you're the only one? Do you think you won't be replaced? He knows just how to play you, to keep you coming back for more. And you know just what he's doing but still you wind up at his door. Why do the undeserving get to be lucky? Why do the wicked get rewards. Why do you pass on the good ones just to go back to the ones before? But you mean too much to me to just let you suffer with a feeling like this could never end. So despite all of this drama I still want to be a friend. I care for you too much to just walk away. I care too much to just give up. I only hope that you don't become blind to me and think that my best isn't enough. When no one will, I'll fight for you. When no one will, I'll cry with you. When no one will, I'll hold you close. When no one will, I'll love you most. You'll always have me even if you never have me.
