wasting away

"love yourself so no one has to"

he is my home

but i am not his.

he walks in a room

and my eyes light up

our eyes connect

and his do nothing.

his smile makes my heart flutter

like a butterfly discovering its wings.

my smile does nothing for him-

except sometimes

he points out how nice 

my teeth are.

my heart beats for him

my soul yearns for him

but to him

i am nothing.

why do i live my life

waiting for someone 

to realize 

they need me

to be complete.
