Feel Bitter, Better

How can I spell it out?
Losing someone you never had
To see him without meeting
To talk to him with words you don’t want to hear

Has it been this difficult?
I’m emptied after I poured myself to a bottomless cup
I’ve hoped for the moments that aren’t bound to happen
This feeling, to walk away without passing

When will this end?
To not do anything and still feel exhausted
To kiss a frog and disappear
To be hurt and have no authority to feel so

Why?
Never better, never been well
I’m digging through a puddle of mishaps
I can’t let this pain be on a playlist
I will start over. Won’t look. Won’t even hover.
