I Give Up On Love
Meeting someone new,
Getting to know them,
Introducing them to your life,
Only for them to leave soon after.
How many times do I need to be vulnerable,
Just for it not to be enough?
How many times does someone leave
Because I couldn’t trust them?
It’s a constant cycle of wash and repeat.
“The One” will stick through thick and thin,
“The One” will never treat you like that
How much longer do I have to wait?
I’m told to work on myself and try again.
I’m told to give up because it’s pointless.
I give up, but find foolish hope in love,
Invest in myself, only for love to come back around.
Is it possible to remove this feeling?
To give up the need for love and
Become completely monotone.
I’d be more robot than human.
But I’m not a machine, and I’m out of patience.
I’m tired of waiting for it to happen.
I’m starting to believe
Love was never meant for me.
