Bad at Love

Bad at love

Never enough

Craving intimacy

I need the touch

Reassurance

That I can be loved

I can be alone forever

Getting by on solitude

Loneliness is a default

If you don't want me

I don't have time

It's not meant to be

I try and act like

I don't need love

All I want

Is to be understood

All I want

Is to be respected

Afraid to let

Anyone in

Afraid of rejection

If I open up,

They will see

Just how broken

The darkness inside me

They won't know how

To put me back together

Running away

Crying, writing

I'm done fighting, done trying

I know what I want

But I've always settle for less

If I could,

I wouldn't leave you

I'd make you my perfect love

I guess that's not how it works

Losing hope I'll find it

If perfection exists
