I Can't

I Can't

A Poem by sheila.j

You deserve so much better, so much better than me

I see your smile and how strong you are and I can't

You deserve so much more, so much more than me

But I can't, I really can't help it

 

I just want you to know that I'm trying so hard

Trying to smile so brightly, to laugh so lightly

I want you to hear that I love you so much

From the deepest part of my heart

 

And you deserve so much better, so much better than me

I can feel you wanting to help and how sweet you are

And you deserve so much more, so much more than me

But I can't tell you how I am, I really can't

 

So if anything happens I want you to know

that I'm not really okay anymore and I need you

I need you to make me feel alright

to make me feel alive

because without you

I can't.

there is a conflict - on one hand you need him, but on the other hand you find yourself unworthy.
It's heart versus logic , and in the end the heart wants what the heart wants.

beautifully written!
