Make Me Feel

He humiliated you. Eye for an eye, Maybe we’ll all end up blind; But that way no one will see how broken he left you. How much shame overcomes you. He didn’t break you. But he shattered the pieces just a little bit more. And he smiles, And you smile, But now you realize you’re empty inside, And he does not care, Not even a little bit, Not even a smidge. He needs saving, And as usual, You want to save him. You can try, And perhaps you can succeed, And while at it, Save yourself. Everyone needs someone to bet on them, I think I’m going to bet on him, Hoping he will bet on himself, Then he might bet on me too. Saving him is my new project, Since, Clearly, Saving myself isn’t motivation enough. He makes me feel something again, And just for that, I’ll be forever grateful to him. Feeling, Anything at all, Makes me feel alive; And although it hurts, It’s better than feeling nothing at all. This pain is the bliss life was meant for.
