Let me down over and over
It's all you ever seem to do
I let myself think you're better
Then I watch the nightmare ensue
I try to tell myself I'm done
That this will be the final straw
But I keep coming back for more
Even when I can see the flaw
Lie to me, tell me there's hope
Tell me that everything's okay
Tell me that you will be the boy
For each night I fervently pray
I want to hear that I'm wanted
Not just a friend to hide behind
I want to feel I've earned the love
To which my whole life I've been blind
Tell me there's no more tears to cry
Tell me there is still hope to see
Don't leave me here to sit in pain
Have compassion and lie to me

This is sort of a fear coming to life for me right now. I hope you like the poem. That's what you get when you let your heart win.

I loved it. Definently. If it wasn't already on the finalist list, I'd add it. Brilliant right. I loved the feeling, and it kind of made me...empathetic(?). I've been there. I hope you...sort it out.
