I'm Broken

Why do I bother to explore my soul when I know there’s nothing there to find? I’ve searched it a million times hoping I’d see the person I’m supposed to be. But here I am, again, lost, lonely, and confused. It’s what I do. I see who I want, but I know he’s not mine to have. It’s just how my life goes. I really like you, but you don’t even know who I am. Love is lost. It’ll never find me. I’ve been forbidden to touch you. I have waited so long to hold you. What I can’t hide is the love I have for you inside. But I know you don’t care. I’ll just go now. Tuck the torn pieces of my heart away. My soul is lonely and cold without you. But that’s just the way my life goes. I fall in love with a man I can’t have. I’m not in here anymore. I’ve detached myself from the pain. Being dumped isn’t the same when you never went out. I keep thinking love should be right here in my heart, but it’s not, I’m broken. Don’t know what can fix this? Vodka? Pills? Patty Griffin? Sylvia Plath? Offspring?
