Enough
Just once I want to matter
I wonder what that’s like
To be the one prioritized
To be first in someone’s life
I want to be heard
And for my feelings to count
I want to be understood
Isn’t that what love is all about
Why do I keep choosing men that don’t seem to choose me
It’s like I’m sitting in my corner
Waiting for something that’ll never be
Did I put myself here
All alone with no comfort
From just one person that I thought mattered the most
I just want the same effort
I don’t think that’s too much to ask
But apparently it is
I think I’ve given up on love
it if it all comes down to this
Why do I let my guard down
If there’s no one there to catch me
I’m falling by myself
It’s just not meant to be
I expect too much
And I hold out for so little
I didn’t realize it until now..
That..
I can’t be the one to change them
They have to want it for “us”
So far that hasn’t happened
No wonder I don’t trust.
Am I lacking somehow
I can’t help but wonder
Is it me or them
I just feel like I’m going under
I feel like such a fool
Now I’m stuck with no where to go
I don’t even know what to do
Even though I’ve been here before
Many times over
It’s the same game
And I’m tired of playing it
I know it’s time to walk away
