appropriately inappropriate

you'll make a liar out of me

just so you can save face

but you care enough to cringe at the sight of my scars 

so I’ll let it all slide

I believe the word you're looking for is tolerate

 

I love you

it's as simple as that

how else can I explain this?

how else could I stomach such unbecoming behavior?

 

your guard completely down

tainted true nature

peering out at me through

the windows of your soul

 

I never knew you could be so judgmental

looking to me for confirmation that it's ok 

while I stand, stare, nod, grin and bask in all your glorious splendor

relishing every ounce of attention

 

this will be the death of me

as I've lulled myself to sleep

behind the wheel of this daydream

heading for a wall of unrequited love

but I can't wake up and let you go

I won't

 

but the saddest thing about all of this though

is that I sincerely believe 

if I actually ever got what I truly wanted 

I would die from the disappointment

 

because you would never be able to live up

to the fantasy of yourself

admit it

Dope! Very well written. I can hear the frustration and it comes to a climax at the end. Even with the last 2 words of this piece. I think of me and my exey when I read this. Nothing was never enough. But back to your piece, this was an emotional struggle and I can tell the main subject almost is upset for his/herself for loving this person that doesn't love him/her the same. Very creative and appropriately inappropriate

Wow I love this deep piece. Man I am frustrated for you. I can truly feel it. When a writer makes the reader feel what they feel at that moment of penning you got something really special here. The only way someone could not feel you and this poem if they were not breathing! I plan on reading the rest of your read request. I had to take a mind break (read bio) but I will be back this was refreshing!
