You notice everyone else's beauty but mine.

And I cry myself to sleep almost every night because you look right through me - a blank stare.

An empty smile.

A cold embrace.

I'm all alone even when we're together in a crowded room.

I take your silence as a sign of defeat.

I do my best to make you happy but all efforts go unnoticed.

I'm dying inside because I want you to fix everything.

I want you to sew my heart back together.

And all you do is watch it break into smaller pieces with every hurtful thing you do.

You could be so much more...but you choose to be the lesser man.

This feeling of helplessness continues to overwhelm me.
