Loving someone is hard
More difficult when it’s one-sided
And when you see them caring for someone else
It burns the inner you like hell
The soul cries like never before
It’s like someone is dying inside
Without actually dying
But it’s not meant to be, but it happens
Why do I love someone one-sided?
It’s mainly keeping myself on flames
It feels hollow
Without their presence
More of stabbing a dagger in me forever
Sometimes talking to them feels different
Making me anxious for no reason
I'm not able to do something, which makes me feel neglected
The present hurts
Not the past
Cause it’s beautifully filled with the movements I like and spent without regret
It feels like agreeing to everything they ask
Making eye contact feels impossible
Maybe it made my old wounds brand new
It suffocates me now
