Unlovable

Hyperventilating on the bathroom floor
Nobody hears
Nobody cares
If I were to just stop breathing 
He wouldn’t be there
I call for help
But not even a breathless me 
Would make him come running
And that’s what being unlovable is like

Powerful piece reflecting how some people are simply unloving and do not have a heart. Time to move on... there are so many worthwhile people who are both loving and lovable waiting for us out there.
