An acrostic about giving up on fighting, when it’s just not worth it anymore.
I can’t write and i know you’re getting
tired of reading,
really,
i’m getting tired of breathing,
everything around me is faded,
dear, forgive me, but i’m jaded.
my broken heart hurts badly, and
you eased the pain for a while,
broken as i was, you still made me smile.
everything was worth it, back when i had you,
still, it wasn’t good enough for you, you left, I
tried as hard as i could.
i’m just not good enough.
though you say you can see the world in my eyes,
just between you and me, i can see through the lies,
unless for some reason, you
still need me here,
tonight i’ll stop breathing,
without you i’ll give up,
and i’ll
sleep in peace without the screams
nightmares put to rest.
true, you may not be worth dying for, as
everyone else said, but now
nothing can change my mind,
on sleepless nights you’ll remember me,
until the images fade, then you’ll
go on with your life, without me here,
honey, it’s not like, where i’m going, i’m even going to care.
