Emotionless…..I wish

I wonder 

I do

what is wrong with me?

Why do you come

only to run

once you have seen the real me?

Headstrong

just one of my features.

Delicate

emotional

head full of dreams.

Fantasies built

when I should know better

for never has anyone cared

long enough to hold my hand

to learn what it is about me

that draws them in

then chases them away.

Sadness

just one emotion I feel daily.

I give so much.

I tell myself

forewarned is forearmed

not this girl

I just fall.

Fall…..

fall…..

twist and turn

there is no way free.

Loneliness

I smile 

no one knows.

Grey mist shrouding

I walk……

alone

this path I tread

the same always since childhood.

Always have I cared for myself

yet once I want for someone…..

someone who will care for me

make me their priority.

Love

so ephemeral

a wish flung to the stars

made on birthday candles

never shall I find.
