Love, Loss & Heartbreak


I loved him.
he didn’t love me.
i watched him from a mile away
but he still never noticed me.

he didn’t even know who I was.
i was simply a shadow.
a mere ghost in his eyes.
like i was physically there but also wasn’t there.
I saw as he smiled so joyfully with other girls.
it broke me,
as I wondered why I couldn’t be as pretty as them?
Am I that hideous
that he couldn’t even bear
to look at me?
Why?
Why?
Why?

i said
staring at myself.
perhaps it was the pain of knowing,
of wondering
why i wasn't enough for him
nor society.

- to the girl who simply wanted to be seen by her crush but instead, lost herself.

Why?
oh
why are we like this
us humans.

why do we like this chase?
a chase that will eventually break us beyond words
a chase that will severely hurt us.

Why?
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Is it to fill the empty void in our lost souls?

or to drain the happiness we continuously strip away.


Why do we even crave this thing called a chase?
we love someone who doesn’t even care for us
but suddenly, when this love is mutual
we don’t want it anymore.

somehow the chase fades away
the interest we once saw is no longer there
why do we even find the need to chase another?

because in truth,
we are all just empty souls longing for love cannot we cannot grasp
love we cannot get a reach off.

but
cheers to being this selfish thing
cheers to being this thing we call human.
- to the girl who simply wanted to be seen by her crush but instead, lost herself.
