The Damsel Who Gave Up Being Distressed To Save A Boy

I
 Love
      You.

Three simple words
that hold your tattered past
and dangle them in my face.
Reminding me,
I'll never be her
or be able to reach what you shared.
I'm sorry she's gone,
I really am,
if I could bring her back for you....
I really would.

I'd do anything to help you.

I'll settle for being incompetent,
just so I can be by your side,
and catch little rays of your light.
Sometimes I feel almost beautiful,
just being close to you.
Laying on your mismatched bed,
as thoughts run through your head...
and you through mine.

I just wish I could fix you,
expel all the love you hold inside.
Force you to finally feel.
I don't want to be the only one...
Bursting at the seams.

I wish I could tell you....

I
 Love
      You.
