Overlook

June 6, 2012 You make me feel so low sometimes And you wonder why I turn to others You cling onto me jokingly But in all seriousness, it bothers I wish we can just be honestly close Not just close, but able to click Instead you act like a prick It hurts to say the way I feel Because I know you are so much more than what surfaces I love you, I really do But sometimes you make me feel like a fool Like you’re using me And I am not an adequate tool I overlook the things you say and do Just so I can make you happy And that is sometimes a difficult task Because the aching of inadequacy in my brain Is driving me insane I know I point out the obvious I know that I’m stupid…I know I’m a fool But why do you have to be so cruel? Is this how it will always be? And why can’t I cling elsewhere? Without you hurt? I can’t live my entire life making you happy We all want to be content I can’t leave the others behind Sometimes I feel like you’re bent On just you and me… Or maybe it’s not me at all Maybe it was never me… I guess I overlook things too much to see
