Forgive me if I wallow in self pity

But it is the only place I feel I belong

The only place I feel I belong

If I could only accept

The things I am searching for

do not exist

They don't exist

If only I could accept

That you don't' exist

I could stop loving you

I would stop loving you

If only I could accept

That despite a heart full of love

The box it is wrapped in is dull

I am dull, so dull

I will never be what I think I need to be

To exist

To be of interest to whoever you are

To be loved by you

Forgive me if I wallow in self pity

But it is the only place I feel I belong

The only place I feel I belong

This is really good! I love the repetition, it's like when you feel down and you keep going over what your faults are and dwelling. I love the heart full of love metaphor - that was ace! It's sad and engaging at the same time and I can really sympathise!

Very sad. To lose someone you want so bad can be too painful to bear at times. I like the repeat of the last two lines for emphasis although I would have broken it up.

The only place...

I belong.

Just my take. Nice writing and very effective.

Great comment, It never occurred to me to do that really, but yes would bring the effect I was looking for. Thank you so much
