Poetry & Self-Awareness

I am looking for genuine love

You are looking only for a good time

But instead of being honest, you lie

You sit there and you waste my time 

---

You barely text me in the daytime

But you make it your business to send me kisses before bedtime

Now I can’t sleep, I am thinking about all the mixed messages you are sending me

Now I cry, and it’s not because of you, it’s because it happens so often

---

I let my guard down 

I know the water is deep and I still let myself drown

I enter a circus and complain about the clowns

This feeling is so familiar and yet each time it still knocks me down

---

All I ever wanted was genuine, all I ever wanted was a shot at real love

But they lie and lie and lie until it creates a meltdown

And it slows me down, I’ve been around here before 

It makes me want to turn cold, but how will I sustain it if my heart houses such a warm soul?
